6. Operation
The AIMOS AM-KVM201CC KVM switch offers two convenient ways to switch between connected computers:
- Panel Control: Press the 'SW' button located on the front panel of the KVM switch to toggle between PC1 and PC2. The LED indicators (1 and 2) on the top of the switch will illuminate to show which PC is currently active.
- Desktop Control: Use the included external desktop control switch. Connect this switch to the 'SW' port on the KVM switch. Pressing the button on the desktop control switch will also toggle between PC1 and PC2.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Display:
- Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and your devices.
- Verify that the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source.
- Check if the active PC is selected on the KVM switch (corresponding LED should be lit).
- Try using shorter HDMI cables, especially for 4K resolutions, as cable quality and length can affect signal integrity.
- Keyboard/Mouse Not Responding:
- Ensure the USB-B cables from both PCs are correctly connected to the KVM switch.
- Verify that the keyboard and mouse are connected to the 'HUB' USB-A ports on the KVM switch.
- Try connecting the keyboard/mouse directly to the PC to confirm they are functional.
- Some specialized gaming keyboards/mice with extra features might require direct connection or specific drivers; try a standard keyboard/mouse first.
- Intermittent Signal/Flickering:
- Check all cable connections for looseness.
- Ensure your HDMI cables meet the specifications for your desired resolution (e.g., High-Speed HDMI for 4K).
- Reduce the resolution or refresh rate to see if the issue persists.
- Ensure the KVM switch is receiving adequate power from the USB connections.
- Switching Issues:
- Ensure the switch button (either on the panel or the desktop control) is pressed firmly.
- If using the desktop control switch, ensure it is properly plugged into the 'SW' port.
