distances up to 30 m (100 ft) at reduced video resolutions (800 x 640 at 60 Hz, worst case).

Solution
•
Be sure that the power source is valid.
•
Be sure that the cables are connected properly.
•
Be sure that the monitor is valid.
Preview the preferences in the OSD to determine if the
local port display has been disabled or set to time out. If the
preferences are set to not display the OSD flag or to have
the flag time out, then the OSD flag does not appear.
Be sure that the local port keyboard is connected properly
and that the keyboard is valid.
