Wrong type of mouse or
adapter The switch will only work with a PS/2 mouse. A serial
mouse cannot be converted to a PS/2 mouse by using a
serial to PS/2 adapter. One exception is a combo-mouse
which is specifically designed for both applications. In
this case, ensure that the mouse is set up for PS/2 mode
and is being used with the adapter originally provided.
Each PC needs to be using the mouse driver correlating
to the mouse connected to the console port.
Mouse Not
Responding**
Unsupported or incorrect
mouse driver
Some newer mice (with extra buttons and wheels) have
unique drivers that may not be supported. Try a regular
mouse with a generic mouse driver (like the one that
comes with the operating system).
Video
Problems Resolution and/or
Bandwidth set too high The Switch supports VGA, SVGA, Multisync, and XGA
(interlaced) monitors with resolutions of up to
1920x1440 Hz. The maximum bandwidth is 180 MHz.
* This Switch is designed to work with AT and PS/2 keyboards. Older XT (84 key) and some older AT
keyboards (those with the function keys on the side) will not work.
** Some Notebook computers, notably the IBM Thinkpad and Toshiba Tecra, have trouble working with a
switch when their mouse and keyboard ports are used simultaneously. To avoid this problem, only connect
the mouse port or the keyboard port to the Switch. If you connect the mouse port, you will need to use the
notebook's keyboard when the notebook is the active computer.
