KVM - blacksmith - 07-17-2018

Hello there,
I've got today a small KVM and connected to an O2 and an Indigo2. Unfortunately no success. It works with the O2 but not with Indigo2. Should I look for a specific brand/model or is something else?
Thanks for help.

Sorry guys. All fixed. I had the cables switched.

I use a Belkin Omniview pro 4 port on an Octane, O2, Indy and Windows 7 pc. All works great. The only issue I had is when I use the older granite PS2 mouse, the mouse looses signal when I flip from one computer to another. My newer dark grey SGI mouse (common on octane 2 / visual workstations) works perfectly when switching - I am wondering if there is a plug n play circuit inside the newer mouse that regains connection if unplugged and plugged back in.

I also noticed that when I switch computers, its best to wiggle the mouse and hit ESC a few times to keep the connection live while switching.
