    How to fix ghost images on the external monitor of ATEN Switch?
    • R
      Russell Watson PhDAug 22, 2025
      If you're seeing ghost images on the external monitor, it's likely because the distance between the external console and the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai is too great. The maximum VGA cable distance should not exceed 20m and may need to be shorter in some cases. Try replacing the VGA cable with one of an appropriately short length.

    What to do if the default network setting is DHCP but the network uses fixed IP addresses with ATEN Switch?
    • J
      John FordAug 28, 2025
      If the default network setting for the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai is DHCP, but your network uses fixed IP addresses and doesn’t have a DHCP server, use the local console OSD’s F4 function to give the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai a fixed IP address.

    • M
      Matthew RamirezAug 30, 2025
      If the Java Client won't connect to the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai: 1. Ensure that Java JRE 6 update 3 or higher is installed on your computer. 2. Make sure you are including the correct name of the web page when you specify the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai's IP address. 3. Try closing the Java Client, reopening it, and trying again.

    Why some characters that are keyed in don’t display on the remote system of ATEN KL1508Ai?
    • B
      Betty RichardsAug 31, 2025
      The issue of some characters not displaying on the remote system is usually because the local OS keyboard language and the remote OS keyboard language are different. Make sure that the keyboard language for both systems are the same.

    What to do if my antivirus program reports a trojan after accessing ATEN Switch?
    • J
      Jonathan RandallSep 2, 2025
      If your antivirus program reports a trojan after accessing the KL1508Ai / KL1516Ai and opening the Windows Client Viewer, it's likely due to the Windows Client Viewer using an ActiveX plug-in (windows.ocx) that some antivirus programs mistakenly identify as a virus or trojan. You can add the plug-in to your antivirus program’s White List to safely use the Viewer.

    • J
      Jonathon CoxSep 4, 2025
      If national language characters do not appear when your local keyboard is set to a non-English national language layout, you must set the remote computer's keyboard layout to English.
