DKVM-4U not recognising keyboard

Problems | Posted by epistasis

I bought a D-Link 4 Port USB KVM switch (DKVM-4U) to switch between my servers in their newly installed Node Zero, but I am experiencing a problem with it. Basically, the mouse and video bits work fine, but as soon as you plug in a usb keyboard the unit stops responding and needs a complete reset.

I emailed D-Link with my problem and was surprised to hear that my KVM is not really a KVM. For a transcript of the emails look at: http://www.epistasis.co.uk/site/dlink.html
