8. Vianmääritys

• Ei näyttöä tai väärä resoluutio:
  • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and your monitors/PCs.

  • Check your computer's display settings to ensure the resolution and refresh rate are supported by your monitors and the KVM switch.
  • If using a laptop via USB-C, confirm that your laptop's USB-C port supports video output.
• Hotkey Switching Not Working:
  • Ensure your keyboard is connected to the dedicated USB 1.1 Port for Keyboard on the front panel. Hotkey functionality requires this specific port.
  • Verify that the hotkey sequence is being entered correctly (e.g., Tab + 1/2/3).

• Mac OS USB-C Display Limitation:
