˙ Reset the KVM08 by simultaneously pressing the Bank/SCAN and Channel
buttons on the front panel. Access the OSD menu again and it should have
re-detected all the active ports.
Q : When I switch from one port to another, mouse movement is completely erratic.
What do I do?
A : ˙ Reset the KVM 08 by simultaneously pressing the Bank/SCAN and Channel
buttons on the front panel. Access the OSD menu again and it should have
re-detected all the active ports.
˙Make sure you do not have more than one mouse driver. Make sure that driver is
either for a Standard PS/2 or Microsoft
®
compatible PS/2 mouse. Try to obtain
the latest version from your hardware manufacturer.
˙If you are using a specialized mouse such as a cordless mouse, scrolling mouse or
mice with more than 2 operational buttons, use generic PS/2 mouse drivers.
Non-standard mice often use non-PS/2 proprietary mouse protocol.
˙Make sure you do not have any mouse drivers loaded in your config.sys or
autoexec.bat files.
˙Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching ports.
˙Reset the mouse to resume proper mouse movement simply by unplugging the
mouse form the front of the KVM 08 for about 2-3 seconds, and plugging it in
again.
Problems with computers using the serial mouse output
Note: The KVM 08 has integrated mouse conversion technology. This technology
converts the PS/2 mouse signals at the console to serial mouse signals.
Windows
®
9x Control Panel System applet may not display that it has detected a
mouse, but the Modem applet will show a serial mouse at a certain serial port.
Q : The computers boot up fine, but the mouse does not work
A : ˙Check the cables and make sure they are inserted properly in the correct ports.
˙Check the cables and make sure that it is a straight-through DB-9 male / female
cable.
˙Check your computer / motherboard documentation to make sure that the serial
ports are enabled, and that there are no IRQ or base address conflicts with other
serial ports or modems.
˙Plug in a serial mouse directly to your computer, and reboot. If the mouse pointer
still does not move, then there may be no serial mouse drivers installed, or the
serial port on your computer may have other conflicts or problems.
