Where is the power supply? I did not find one in the box.
The TK-209/TK-409 does not require a power supply. It draws power from your computer's USB
connection. As long as your KVM switch is connected to the USB 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 USB cables while the computers are turned on because the
USB 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 Lock, etc.)
How do I switch from one computer to another with the KVM switch?
First, make sure your USB port is working properly by testing it with your other USB devices. Second,
once you confirm that the USB port is functional, please reboot your computers, and try to use the KVM
switch again. Third, if your computer is running Windows 98SE, you may need to download and install the
USB hot fix. Please go to this link for download and installation instructions:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q240075. Once the hot fix is installed, follow the installation instructions in
Section 2.
