  If your mouse jumps or seems stuck on the screen while using the Avocent Switch, first, ensure the cables connecting your computer to the SwitchView SC are properly connected. Also, verify that the mouse is plugged into the correct mouse port on the rear panel of the unit. Check if the computer works correctly with a mouse connected directly to it; if not, try using a different mouse. If the mouse was connected while Windows was running, restarting Windows might also resolve the issue.

  If you're experiencing a black screen or no video output with your Avocent SwitchView SC, ensure the video cable connecting your computer to the switch is securely connected to the selected port. Also, check that the monitor cable is properly connected to the SwitchView SC. As a troubleshooting step, power down the computer, connect the monitor directly to it, and then power it back up. If the monitor still doesn't work correctly, try using an alternative monitor to rule out monitor issues.
