Where is the AC adapter? I did not find one in the box.
I have the KVM switch connected properly, but my keyboard and mouse don't
work. Please make sure your PS/2 ports are working properly by testing it with
another mouse or keyboard. Once you confirm that the PS/2 ports are functional,
please reboot your computers, and try to use the KVM switch again.
Can I connect or disconnect the KVM cables while the computers are turned
on? Yes, you can connect or disconnect the KVM cables while the computers are
turned on, because the interface is Hot-Pluggable.
Will the KVM switch remember the keyboard settings between computers?
Yes, the KVM switch will remember the keyboard settings when switching
between your computers. (i.e.: Caps lock, Num key, etc.)
How do I switch from one computer to another with the KVM switch?
Because the TK-205 KVM switch supports Hot-Key commands, you can use
Hot-Key commands to switch between 2 computers.
The TK-205 does not require anAC adapter. It draws power from your
computer's keyboard port.As long as your KVM switch is connected to the
keyboard port, it will receive the necessary power to function.
If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TK-205K, please
contact Trendnet's Technical Support Department.
