7. Fejlfinding

Hvis du støder på problemer med din KVM-switch, kan du se følgende almindelige problemer og løsninger:

• Ingen videoudgang:
  • Ensure all DisplayPort and USB-C cables are securely connected.
  • Verify that the USB-C cables used for connecting computers support DisplayPort Alt-Mode.
  • Try using different, high-quality DisplayPort and USB-C cables.
  • Sørg for, at KVM-switchen er tændt.
  • Check your monitor's input selection.
  • If using a high-resolution ultrawide monitor, some compatibility issues may arise. Try a lower resolution temporarily to diagnose.
• Tastatur eller mus reagerer ikke:
  • Ensure the keyboard and mouse are connected to the designated HID USB ports.
  • Try connecting the keyboard/mouse to the USB 3.0 ports if HID ports are problematic, especially for specialized gaming peripherals.
  • Verify that the correct computer is selected on the KVM switch.
  • Reconnect the USB cables for the keyboard and mouse.
• USB Peripherals Not Detected or Functioning Intermittently:
  • Ensure peripherals are connected to the USB 3.0 ports.
  • Try connecting the peripheral directly to the computer to confirm functionality.
  • Nogle USB-enheder med høj effekt kræver muligvis en ekstern strømkilde.
• Computer Not Charging:
  • This KVM switch does not provide power delivery to connected computers. Computers must be powered independently via their own power adapters.
• Intermittent Video or USB Disconnections:
  • This can often be caused by low-quality or excessively long USB-C or DisplayPort cables. Replace with certified, high-quality cables of appropriate length.
  • Sørg for, at alle forbindelser er faste og sikre.
