functions) when a
particular PC is selected,
but works normally
when other PCs are
selected.
Unit does not operate in
On-Screen User
Interface.
Unable to select channel.
Forget password (how to
reset)
a. The mouse cable from the PC to MCIP is loose. Secure the
connection and power up again.
b. If the problem only occurs to new PCs which are being added to
the system, the firmware in the KVM (MCIP internal mouse
emulator) may need to be upgraded to a later version to be compatible
with newer PCs.
a. Try to identify if the problem is originating from the PC by
reconnecting the PC to a different channel with a different cable.
Then power up the PC. If the problem is not with the cable or with the
specific channel, then connect the mouse directly to the PC. If the
problem persists, then the PC's mouse port is out of order.
b. If the problem occurs after MCIP has been installed for a period of
time, and occurs to PCs that have previously worked with MCIP, then
some components are out of order.
Replace keyboard. On-Screen User Interface works only with PS/2 or
extended AT style keyboards.
Scan function is active; press the Scan button once to toggle Scan
OFF so the light next to the button is off.
