7. Fehlerbehebung

Sollten Sie Probleme mit Ihrem KVM-Switch haben, beachten Sie bitte die folgenden häufig auftretenden Probleme und Lösungen:

• Kein Display/Signal:
  • Ensure all HDMI and USB cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and the computers/monitor.
  • Prüfen Sie, ob der KVM-Switch eingeschaltet ist und der richtige Eingang ausgewählt ist.
  • Um zu überprüfen, ob die Videoausgabe des Computers funktioniert, schließen Sie den Computer direkt an den Monitor an.
  • Prüfen Sie, ob der Monitor auf die richtige Eingangsquelle eingestellt ist.
• Tastatur/Maus reagiert nicht:
  • Ensure the keyboard and mouse are connected to the dedicated K/M USB ports on the KVM switch.
  • Try connecting the keyboard and mouse directly to the computer to verify functionality.
  • Some specialized gaming or multimedia keyboards/mice may require pass-through mode. Refer to the full manual for enabling this feature.
• Langsame Schaltzeit:
  • Switching times can vary depending on the connected devices and their display handshake processes. High-resolution or high-refresh-rate devices (e.g., PS5 at 4K 120Hz HDR) may experience longer switching delays (up to 5 minutes in some cases).
  • For other devices, typical switching time is 5-10 seconds.
• Display Issues with High-Performance Devices (e.g., PS5):
  • Devices requiring 4K 120Hz HDR VRR may be particularly sensitive to HDMI signal integrity.
  • Ensure high-quality HDMI 2.1 certified cables are used.
  • Consider simplifying the setup by connecting the KVM switch directly to the display, rather than through an A/V receiver, if experiencing signal drops or resolution degradation.
  • If green lines or signal loss occur, try adjusting display settings on the source device to a lower resolution or refresh rate as a test.
• Audio Issues (e.g., Dolby Atmos):
  • This KVM switch may not support certain advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Verify audio compatibility with your specific setup.
• Probleme mit der Steuerungssoftware:
  • If experiencing difficulties with official control software for advanced settings (e.g., disabling the beep sound), check the TESmart website for updated software or drivers.
  • Some users have reported success with third-party applications for controlling TESmart KVM switches; however, use such software at your own discretion.
