If a USB mouse has been connected, a mouse cursor appears on the screen and its location
corresponds to the mouse cursor position sent by the external USB mouse.
If a USB keyboard has been connected, only on-screen keyboards and keypads will reflect any
external keystrokes sent from the external USB keyboard.
If you experience problems introducing new devices, you can install the drivers on a remote PC
according to manufacturer suggestions with the device connected directly to the remote PC.

this occurs, reset the TPI-PRO to allow the devices to re-establish connectivity.
When disconnecting a USB device, wait 5-10 seconds before reconnecting or connecting a new
