TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are experiencing problems, first ensure that all cables are properly connected.
When a PC is not switched on, in sleep, or in standby mode then the monitor will not show any
display. Please note that this is not a sign of a faulty CPU Switch!
Before you check any further please ensure that all cables are well seated. You may wish to
label each of the cables for easy identification, and to avoid confusion later.
Power Adaptor Free Design:
The KVM switch draws it’s power from the keyboard port of each of the computers. In a very few
cases notebook computers may not be able to support enough power to the KVM switch via the
PS/2 port. If this is the case then the other attached computer(s) will need to be powered ON so
the KVM switch can operate correctly.
Booting up PC:
Don’t press any keys on the keyboard or mouse while the computers are booting up, otherwise,
it may cause an error! It’s also possible that the keyboard or mouse may not be detected and
you will then need to re-boot each computer.
Keyboard:
The computer boots up fine, but keyboard doesn’t work
•
Make sure the keyboard works when directly plugged into the computer.
•
Try a different keyboard model with PS/2 connector.
Mouse:
1. The mouse is not detected during PC boot up or Windows start.
•
Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer. You have to install
the appropriate mouse driver on all computers connected!
•
Make sure the mouse is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work just as long as it is
in PS/2 mode. Always use the adaptor originally supplied with your mouse; there are a lot
of different versions!
2. Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching the ports.
3. Some advanced mice like radio frequency mice, 5 button mice and scroll wheel mice use
very uncommon proprietary signals. Although LINDY has carefully checked for the highest
compatibility, LINDY cannot guarantee that the CPU Switch will work with all known mice,
especially those developed and produced after the CPU Switch production.
Monitor picture is not sharp or shows shadows:
Make sure you have used high quality video cables with coaxial cores. If the diameter of the
cable is less then 6mm this cable may probably be not good enough. High quality cables
typically have a diameter of 8mm or more.
The CPU Switch LITE does not support cable lengths of more than 5m.
