3.4. Troubleshooting
Before calling technical support, please try the following steps for easy troubleshooting.
Stand-alone KVM Switch version: If none of the port LEDs or the display on the KVM Switch are
illuminated please check that the power adapter is connected and switched on at the mains.
Before you check any further please make sure that all cables are fitted correctly! Do NOT use
network connections but a dedicated RJ45 cable to connect Computer Modules to the KVM
Switch RJ45 ports!
If the monitor stays dark please check if the currently selected computer is in sleep mode or
powered down. If so please wake up the computer in the usual way.
If the monitor picture is not sharp or shows shadows: Please see Section 3.3. Video Setting
Menu in OSD and adjust the video settings. If this does not help please check the quality of the
UTP cable between KVM switch and Computer Access Module. Try replacing the cable, or use
a higher quality cable.
