Adder AV4PRO-VGA Features
True USB 2.0 emulation
Unlike most KVM switches, which only support the most basic keyboard and mouse features, Adder's revolutionary 'True Emulation' allows you to use the extra function keys, wheels, buttons and controls that are commonly found on modern keyboards and mice. You can also use any other USB interface device including graphics tablets, jog shuttles, joysticks, 3D explorers, and wireless bluetooth keyboard & mouse*.
Independent USB & Audio device switching
The AdderView Pro AV4PRO-VGA includes two independently switchable USB 2.0 channels and an audio channel, giving the user the flexibility to attach selected peripherals to different computers. For example, use the KVMA console to work on one computer whilst your USB peripherals are connected to other computers and your speakers are playing music from yet another.
Broad High Speed device support - Transparent USB 2.0 Hub
An integrated transparent 2-port USB 2.0 hub allows a vast range of USB devices can be connected to the AV4PRO-VGA from non standard keyboard / mouse devices to flash drives, printers and scanners.
Fast & Reliable Switching
Country code reporting, extended DDC EDID profile and continuous keyboard and mouse emulation ensure faultless operation. The USB 2.0 switching action has also been carefully engineered to ensure maximum computer reliability when connecting and disconnecting USB devices.
Channel selection options
The AdderView Pro AV4PRO-VGA can be switched using the front panel buttons, selectable keyboard hotkeys, 3 button mice, an On-Screen-Display (OSD), or using simple ASCII codes via serial RS232. Optionally, you can also use the RC4 remote switch to make your selection. These switching options allow you to rapidly reassign connected devices to any of the connected computers.

Second, unplug the switch and try plugging it back in. If neither of these helps, please contact that manufacturer. The Adder support page can be reached here: http://www.adder.com/support.
