OLUTION
Repeated "MOUSE
INSTALLATION
FAILURE" at power-up
of PC.
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.
After a period of trouble-
free operation, the
mouse attached to
MasterConsole IP locks
(unable to control mouse
functions) when a
particular PC is selected,
but works normally
when other PCs are
selected.
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.
