- Page 29 SERVICE SETUP Selection of Color depth You can select, whether 16/24Bit AUTOSELECT colors (=64K/16M colors) are transmitted (default) or 24Bit colors (=16M colors). AUTOSELECT means, that as far as the screen content allows high data compression, 24Bits are transmitted. When the video data do not allow reducing data enough, the colors are automatically reduced to 16Bit.

Page 31: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Monitor There isn’t a picture. Check the power supply connection at the local and remote unit. Is the Power (Red LED) at the Local unit illuminated (see page 25)? If not, the internal power-supply may be damaged or there may be an internal error. Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote Unit. - Page 32 DVI-D CATX/FIBER KVM-EXTENDER Try a different model of keyboard. If the new keyboard works then original one may be incompatible Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote Unit. Is the Link Status LED illuminated (see page 25)? The other console is active.
- Page 33 TROUBLESHOOTING or horizontally graduated colors – better use monochrome backgrounds. They allow higher compression -> higher frame rates. Your mouse is moving like ‘hanging on a rubber band’ This problem derives from different single problems, which accumulate to a delay between the true mouse movement and displaying the movement of the mouse pointer on the screen.
