kvm switch does not function (Aten cs1782)
Hello,
I have bought a new kvm switch, an Aten cs11782 that is hdcp-compatible and can get to work 2 computers with 1 mouse, 1 keyboard and 1 monitor. The needed cables were delivered with it. Only... it does not function! While installing I have exactly followed the chain of actions as proposed by the user manual but I can switch from comp1 to comp2 (& viceversa) fysically by pushing the buttons of the switch but that's all. The mouse and keyboard seem dead. Well, not entirely because I can go into special mode (hotkey switching mode) via two keys of the numeric island (Numlock and Minus) and the switch's signals indicate that the pushing on these keys does something. I've never had this kind of troubles with my old kvm-switch. Thereafter I have tried the 2 possible solutions for mouse and keyboard not reacting, as named in the user manuals Troubleshooting part, to no avail. - stopped the computers, stopped the switch by unplugging its adapter, waited for 10 sec., plugging in and restarting computers. - removing the cables of mouse and keyboard from their connectors at the switch and reinserting them. Anyone an idea? Are some of you using such a type of Aten kvm-switch? Regards, Massimo |

What interface does your keyboard and mouse use - PS/2 or USB? If PS/2 then verify that the keyboard and mouse still work when driectly conencted into each machine. If not then you have probably blown something (most likely from hotplugging). If everything works directly connected then return the KVM - simple KVMs are basically it works or it doesn't devices. -- Andrew Smallshaw |

I am very surprised to hear you call the Aten switch *no-name hardware*! Aten is the best known manufacturer of kvm-switches over here?! Before buying the apparatus I thoroughly searched for reviews for it and all I saw was good results! (with Google;-) What interface does your keyboard and mouse use - PS/2 or USB? Usb If PS/2 then verify that the keyboard and mouse still work when driectly conencted into each machine. If not then you have probably blown something (most likely from hotplugging). Although keyboard and mouse are usb i'll check the direct connection with my second computer (not yet done), thank you. If everything works directly connected then return the KVM - simple KVMs are basically it works or it doesn't devices. Hm, Maybe, this kvm-switch is not as simple as the switch I used before it though. I first would like to exclude any fault that could be corrected by me myself... Thanks for reacting! Massimo |
