5. Troubleshooting 

Make sure that all connections to the PC and peripheral equipment are solid. Reboot the 

PC if any of the connections were loose as this may have caused the PC to lock up.  

 

If the problem is related to the video, check the function and calibration by placing the 

unit is Calibration mode using the switch on the sender. If the image on the display is not 

centetred  properly, use the LCD’s on screen display to do an Auto Adjust Image. 

 

If the problem is with the USB devices, check the state of the LED’s on the front panel of 

the each unit. These LED’s pertain to USB links. The General purpose USB (STD)  link 

light should be on if proper connection is made between the sender and the receiver, 

Data light will light if connection to PC is made and adevice is plugged to one of the STD 

USB ports on the remote unit. The DR1 and DR2 leds function when the sender is 

connected to the PC  and

 

  the receiver at the remote is connected to a USB device (such 

as a printer) therefore link and data LEDs work together. If connection to the PC of DR1 

or DR2 is verified, but the Link and Data leds are off, unplug the corresponding device 

from the remote, wait 5 seconds and plug it back in.  

Check the RJ45 port connections (A to A, B to B, etc), make sure they are not crossed, 

loose, or disconnected. Use the following chart to narrow your attention depending on 

device you are having trouble with: 

 

Port A of the UTP carries VGA A and AUDIO signals 

Port B of the UTP carries VGA B and Bi-directional RS232 signals 

Port C of the UTP carries the Standard (STD) USB and the “Direct” USB port DR1. 

Port D of the UTP carries the “Direct” USB port DR2 

 

If you cannot trouble shoot the setup, please note all pertinent symptoms and make a list 

of any other equipment used in the setup. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not open or try to repair the unit yourself. There is no customer repairable item in the 

unit and you will void the warranty.  

 

Contact Hall Research Technical Support Department at 714-641-6607 or via email or 

web. If you need to ship your switch for repair, make sure to get a Return Material 

Authorization (RMA) number first.

ATTENTION: TENSION DANGEREUSE, L'APPAREIL NE COMPORTE 

AUCUN ÉLÉMENT QUE L'UTILISATEUR PUISSE RÉPARER
