Adjusting the Picture
When the remote console has control, you can adjust the picture quality by
pressing the Receiver’s hot key “A” to force the remote port’s video signal to
auto-adjust (see the “Hot-Key Commands Operation” section above).
Troubleshooting Tips
• Use the Receiver’s hot key “A” to force the video signal to auto-adjust.
• Avoid using a specialized mouse. Mice with scrolling wheels
are supported.
• Avoid using a specialized keyboard (e.g., a keyboard with special
shortcut keys).
• The CAT5 Extender is not compatible with serial or PS/2 mouse ports or
KVM switches using serial mice at the console.
