4 Troubleshooting
There isn’t a picture.
Check the power supply connection at the Local unit. Is the Power (Red LED) at the Local
unit illuminated? If not, the internal power-supply may be damaged or there may be an
internal error.
Check the power supply connection at the remote unit. Is the Power (Red LED) at the
Remote unit illuminated? If not, the internal power-supply may be damaged or there may
be an internal error.
Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote Unit.
Is the Link Status LED illuminated? If not, there may be a problem with the
Interconnection cable:
Are there Errors through data transmission over FIBER Cable (Cable too long, too high
attenuation or too much EMI interferences )? Is the Data Error LED illuminated or
blinking? If yes, check cable length and environment.
Video Okay LED is dark: CPU does not provide a video signal – Check settings of the
graphic card. Try out, connecting a monitor to the local output, to see, whether ther is a
signal or not.
Keyboard
The PC boots fine with no error messages but the keyboard does not work at all
Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.
Try a different model of keyboard. If the new keyboard works then original one may be
incompatible
Check that the Interconnection cable is connected at the Local Unit and the Remote Unit.
Is the Link Status LED illuminated?
PS2-Mouse
A mouse cursor appears on the screen, but the mouse does not work
Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.
Try a different model of mouse
The system does not detect a PS/2 mouse, or the application cannot find the mouse.
Wrong cable plugged in, keyboard and mouse cables reversed.
Ensure that the Local Unit is connected to the PC keyboard port to provide power.
