Troubleshooting
Q. Device Installer can't find my switch.
Make sure that the serial connections are wired correctly, tx to rx, rx to tx and ground to
ground.
If using a USB adapter, try removing it and plugging it in to a different USB port on the PC.
Make sure the PC is connected to the PC communications port and not the display's
communication port.
Q. My display device does not respond to button presses.
Make sure the system is configured for the correct display device.
Make sure the serial connections to the display device are correct, tx to rx, rx to tx and ground
to ground.
If the display power buttons flash for a second after pressing one then there is no display
device configured for use with the switch. See section 3 on configuring the switch.
Make sure the communication settings are correct, have a look in the library files to do this.
Make sure there is power to the display device and that there is no internal settings to allow
serial communications which must first be turned on.
Q. Can I control multiple display devices.

many display device as required. The rx however should only be connect to a single display device, leave

to the switch. All 3 mode lights should be illuminated to acknowledge the reset. Reset the power once
