Zonet 4-port KVM Switch Questions & Answers
Very choppy video
Back when P4 systems were common, the hard drive interfaces were quite marginal for video processing and techniques to force the capture to faster devices (like a RAM drive, or now
SSD drive, or SCSI interface to high end striped drives) were used to smooth the video capture. I have had good luck with SATA3 interface SSD's for capturing video, but continue to use a drive other than the one I boot from so windows doesn't mess up the frame rate.

POORLY supported routers made in China. STRONGLY recommend disposing of this device and obtaining one from a better vendor that supports it's products i.e.: Cisco, 3Com, etc...
No vga by pushing port buttons
In order to fully answer your question, a number of needful things must be inspected, reinstalled, confirmed, & tested:
- Reset. Try the reset button. You could use a paper clip to reach the reset button through the pin hole in the lower front left of the Zonet KVM unit.
- Inspect connectors. Each data/input/power connector/port requires all of its pins to be present & straight for full functionality.
- Inspect the entire length of each cable & cord to ensure that each has no damaged area.
- Seat each connector in the appropriate port of a computer that will be accessed via the KVM unit.
- Electricity. Inspect all affected devices & confirm that each has sufficient, uninterrupted electricity.
- It is possible for a Zonet KVM unit to display channel lights without direct power to the unit, but you should confirm that the unit is getting sufficient, uninterrupted electricity-directly through its own power cord. Unplug the KVM power cord & every connector & reseat each one (this performs a power reset on the KVM unit)-making sure that each connector is in the correct location (not just where it originally was). Thus, make sure that the keyboard, video display (monitor), & mouse are on the output side.
- Press the power button on your monitor. If it does not turn off the monitor's power status light (Off/On/Standby), then remove the power cord from the monitor & reseat it-to reset the monitor's hardware. If it does not turn on the monitor's power status light, then the monitor is either not getting enough electricity or it has a malfunction which requires troubleshooting & fixing (possibly through a fixya.com thread for that monitor model).
- Unlike USB devices, PS/2 devices usually require device connection prior to turning on that device. With that said, connect the keyboard & mouse KVM channel cable connectors to the computers & then turn on those computers that you intend to display through the KVM-connected monitor & then turn on these computers.
- Any computer that does not turn on has an issue that requires resolving (just like a monitor that would not turn on).
- Sometimes a keyboard/mouse interface issue can be resolved by replacing that interface device.
- The KVM Unit. When all else properly connects & performs, what does not properly connect & perform has the issue &, hopefully, that can be repaired without having to replace it.
Reset wireless password
Do a factory reset - usually a 'secret button' hidden on the back - default router passwords can often be found on the net.
