Where is the power supply? I did not find one in the box.
The TK-208/TK-408 does not require a power supply. It draws power from your computer's
keyboard connection. As long as your KVM switch is connected to the keyboard port, it will receive the
necessary power to function.
I have the KVM switch connected properly, but my keyboard and mouse don't work.
Can I connect and disconnect the USB cables while the computers are turned on?
Yes, you can connect or disconnect the KVM cables while the computers are turned on, because the
KVM switch is Plug-and-Play and 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 Lock, etc.)
How do I switch from one computer to another with the KVM switch?
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.
You can switch computers by pressing the Push Buttons on the KVM switch, or by using the "Hot-Key”
commands. Refer to Section 3 Operation for more information.
If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TK-208K/TK-408K, please contact
