I need a manual for IOGEAR Sympathy KVM model GCS1774 Symphony, not Sympathy ___^^^^^^^^ It comes with a manual. Is it not written in your native language? Got it at a garage sale (aka rummage sale aka dump sale), so parts missing? Is there a reason you cannot go to Iogear's own web site to get the manual on their product? https://www.iogear.com/product/GCS1774/ Click the "Product Manual" download link on the right side. Available in English and French. |

Thanx Alan Didn't look too hard did you? ;-) Go to https://www.iogear.com/product/GCS1774/ and look for the links to the online manual. I have the identical KVM myself but couldn't locate the original manual on a bit. |

Thanx Alan Didn't look too hard did you? ;-) I guess not. I thought I did. My senility is really affecting me. Old age is terrible. Just wait................. Go to https://www.iogear.com/product/GCS1774/ and look for the links to the online manual. I have the identical KVM myself but couldn't locate the original manual on a bit. Since you have the IOGEAR GCS1774 4-port USB KVM switch do you have the same confusion that I do.? Or does anyone else? I only have two PC's connected right now, one W10, one W7. They are connected to the KVM with the special USB VGA cables which have two USB connectors for my keyboard and mouse. I have them connected to the two front USBs on the KVM for my W10 PC, and they work fine. But when I change to my W7 PC, I have to switch the USB connector to the USB on the back of the KVM. And when I switch back to the W10 PC, I have to switch the keyboard USB connector back to the front of the KVM. The mouse works just fine on both PCs. I wonder what I am doing wrong. Anyone have an idea? As I said earlier, I now have the manual. Thanks Al |

Anyone have an idea? As I said earlier, I now have the manual. How long are you holding the selection switch on the KVM to change to the other PC? The manual (page 6) tells you how long to hold the switches for what function you want them to do. The manual also tells you what the front USB ports are for. They are NOT for switching between hosts. The front USB ports are for *peripherals*. You use /*ONE*/ keyboard and mouse with this KVM, and they connect on the backside ports. You are sharing one keyboard and mouse amongst multiple computers. Pages 10 & 11 of the manual show you what goes to which port on the KVM. If the *one* keyboard USB port on the KVM is not changing to which computer you choose using the KVM's selection switch then the KVM is broken. You didn't have the manual. Was this KVM got at a garage sale? If so, maybe they dumped it because it was broke. |

Pages 10 & 11 of the manual show you what goes to which port on the KVM. snip.. Yes, the single keyboard and mouse (trackball in my case) connect to the rear of the KVM and that is the only place they have a chance of working properly. Sometimes switching among connected computers can be confusing and misleading. A _short_ touch on a button will switch the keyboard and mouse while leaving the peripherals connected where they were. A _long_ touch will switch everything. Watch the colors of the indicators to tell which is which. While it is certainly possible that something is internally defective in the KVM I wouldn't suspect that immediately. What happens if you move the troublesome computer to a different port location on the KVM? There is no requirement to use them sequentially. The KVM has some sort of hot key arrangement too but I've never once bothered with it -- the buttons are far more convenient to me. If you continue to have problems, communicating with the manufacturer's service folks might be worthwhile. They've sold a _huge_ number of these things and if there has been a similar problem they likely have seen it before. As for age -- I am 71 years old. No senility yet that I've noticed but then again, if I was losing it maybe I wouldn't notice... |
