Appendix C: Troubleshooting

No power status light on transmitter or receiver

Verify that the green LED on the separate Avocent-supplied power supply is

illuminated, indicating that the power supply is plugged in correctly.

Ensure that the power cable from the Avocent-supplied power supply is
securely plugged into the LongView Wireless transmitter or LongView
Wireless receiver unit.

No video on monitor attached to transmitter

Verify that the monitor has power and is switched on.

Ensure that the video cable from the LongView Wireless transmitter is securely
plugged in to the correct connector on the computer.

Ensure that the video cable from the monitor is securely plugged in to the correct
connector on the LongView Wireless transmitter.

Verify that the computer is switched on.

As a last check, plug the video cable from the monitor directly into the computer
to verify that the monitor is working and that the computer is generating active
video. If this is functioning, check that the display settings for your computer are
set no higher than a resolution of 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz refresh rate. If the monitor
does not function correctly, replace it.

No mouse and/or keyboard operation from peripherals attached to transmitter

Verify that the mouse and keyboard are connected to the correct PS/2 ports on
the computer. Match the connector color codes (green is mouse and purple
is keyboard).

If the LongView Wireless transmitter was powered up after the computer, turn off
the computer and transmitter. Power up the LongView Wireless transmitter unit,
wait for the middle LED to illuminate, then power up the computer.

Retest the mouse and keyboard by connecting them directly to the computer
and rebooting the computer. If one does not function correctly, replace the
non-functioning peripheral.

No video on monitor attached to receiver

Verify that the monitor attached to the LongView Wireless receiver has power and
is switched on.

Ensure that the video cable from the monitor is securely plugged in to the correct
connector on the LongView Wireless receiver.

Ensure that the video cable from the LongView Wireless transmitter is securely
plugged in to the correct connector on the computer.

Verify that the computer is switched on.

Cycle power to the LongView Wireless receiver. An informational message
should appear on the monitor for a brief moment. If the message does not
appear, check the monitor by plugging the video cable from the monitor directly
into the computer to verify that the monitor is working and that the computer is
generating active video. If this is functioning, check that the display settings for
your computer are set no higher than a resolution of 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz refresh
rate. If the monitor does not function correctly, replace it.
