What to do if the monitor does not display when switching ports on ATEN CS84U?
If your ATEN Switch monitor doesn't display when switching ports, especially during the initial installation, switch ports again and allow two or more seconds for the PC's EDID to pass to the monitor. If the PC’s EDID has not passed through, use the [d] hotkey to invoke Video DynaSync or switch to another PC to reconnect the switch.
Why can't I switch ATEN CS84U ports by pressing [Scroll Lock] twice?
If you cannot switch ports on your ATEN Switch by pressing [Scroll Lock] twice, it might be that your keyboard is incompatible with Scroll Lock invocation. Switch to the Alternate HSM invocation keys.
What to do if the ATEN CS84U monitor doesn't display after hot plugged KVM cable?
If your ATEN Switch monitor doesn't display after hot-plugging the KVM cable set, it could be due to incompatibility between some graphics cards and cable set hot-plugging. Power off all devices, including the switch, confirm all KVM cables are properly connected, then power on the switch and the computers.
Why is my ATEN Switch behaving erratically?
If your ATEN Switch exhibits erratic behavior, it might not be receiving enough power. Try using a DC 5 V power adapter, or if you're already using one, ensure it matches the system specifications, is properly plugged in, and is functioning correctly. Also, the keyboard and/or mouse may need a reset. Unplug the cables from the console ports and plug them back in. Check the cable from the switch to the computer to ensure it's properly connected. Finally, the KVM switch may need a reset: power off all devices, including the KVM switch, wait five seconds, and then power everything back up.
How to fix ATEN CS84U Switch when USB devices are not responding?
If USB devices are not responding on your ATEN Switch, try resetting the USB ports. Unplug the device’s USB cable from the USB port on the switch’s rear panel, and then plug it back in. Also, use the USB Reset hotkey combination to reset the USB ports.
