Hot-Key command = ScrLk ^+ ScrLk ^+ Command key(s)

After pressing the ScrLk key, you have 2 seconds to press the ScrLk key again. You then have another 2 seconds to press a command key. If you do not press a key within 2 seconds, the switch will exit hot-key mode.

Q1: Where is the power supply? I did not find one in the box.

A1: The TK-408K does not require a power adapter. It draws power from your computer's PS/2 connections. As long as your KVM Switch is connected to the PS/2 port, it will receive the necessary power to function.

Q2: I have the KVM switch connected properly, but my keyboard and mouse don't work.

A2: Please make sure your PS/2 port is working properly by testing it with your other PS/2 devices. Once you confirm that the PS/2 port is functional, please reboot your computers, and try to use the KVM switch again.

Q3: Can I connect and disconnect the PS/2 cables while the computers are turned on?

A3: Do not try to connect the KVM Switch to the computers while the computers are in powered-on state, because the computers may have difficulty recognizing your shared PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse.

Q4: Will the KVM switch remember the keyboard settings between computers?

A4: Yes, the KVM switch will remember the keyboard settings when switching between your computers. (i.e.: Cap lock, Num key, etc.)

Q5: How do I switch from one computer to another with the KVM switch?

A5: You may switch between computers by pressing the Push Buttons on the KVM switch or by using the Hot-Key commands via keyboard. For a list of Hot-Key commands, refer to the "Quick Reference Sheet for TK-408K".

If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TK-408K, please contact TRENDnet's Technical Support Department.
