Enabling or resetting a PS/2 mouse
Compared to USB mouses, PS/2 mouses do not support hot plug technology. You
can therefore insert the PS/2 plug during operation, but it may be possible that the
computer does not detect the input device.
To enable or reset the PS/2 mouse, the KVM switch can be used to send a special
command to the computer.
Since the commands differ depending on the mouse type and the installed operating
system, four different setup keys are provided.
NOTE:
A PS/2 mouse can only be reset or enabled in the setup mode.
How to enable or reset a PS/2 mouse:
1. Press
Hotkey+Backspace
mode.
If the hotkey delay is active, press the key combination for seven seconds.
