FAQs

What is the maximum resolution supported by the built-in LCD screen?

The built-in LED-backlit LCD monitor supports resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz.

Does the CL1000N support USB KVM switches?

The CL1000N is primarily designed for PS/2 KVM switches. While it includes a custom KVM cable with USB for the computer connection, compatibility with USB KVM switches might require separate adapters or converters. Please check the product's specific documentation or ATEN support for confirmed USB KVM switch compatibility.

How do I install the CL1000N in a rack?

The CL1000N is a 1U rack-mountable unit. Use the provided rack mounting kit and ensure you have adequate clearance above and below the unit for its sliding housing mechanism to operate smoothly.

Can I use the CL1000N as a standalone monitor?

No, the CL1000N is a KVM console designed to work with a KVM switch. It serves as the front-end interface to control multiple computers connected via a KVM switch.

What is the purpose of the LED Illumination Light?

The LED Illumination Light is an ATEN-designed feature that illuminates the keyboard and touchpad, allowing for comfortable use in low-light or dark environments.

How do I clean the LCD screen?

For cleaning, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. If necessary, slightly dampen the cloth with water or an approved LCD cleaner. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the screen.

What types of KVM cables are included?

The package typically includes a custom KVM cable with VGA and USB connectors (1.8m/6ft) for connecting to your KVM switch and computer.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on the LCD screen.

Ensure the VGA cable is securely connected between the CL1000N and the KVM switch. Verify the KVM switch is powered on and correctly connected to the target computer. Check if the correct input resolution is supported.

Keyboard or touchpad not responding.

Confirm that the PS/2 keyboard and mouse cables are properly plugged into the CL1000N and the KVM switch. Try reconnecting them. Ensure the KVM switch is functioning correctly.

Screen resolution appears incorrect or distorted.

The CL1000N supports DDC emulation. If issues persist, check the video settings on the connected computer and ensure they are compatible with the LCD's maximum resolution (1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz).

The unit does not power on.

Verify the power cord is securely connected to the CL1000N and the power outlet. Try a different power outlet or power cord if available.

Slideaway housing is difficult to move.

Ensure there is sufficient top and bottom clearance in the rack as per the installation guidelines. Check for any obstructions in the track mechanism.
