What does it mean when all three LED's (Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll
Lock) on a keyboard blink together?

It doesn't happen on all the systems I plug it into, just one.

I'm guessing maybe the one host system can't support the keyboard
power ????



Sounds like a bad keyboard. Over current reset.
Maybe the KVM cant supply the current needed.


Or a dirty POR on the keyboard itself, after which it kind of "hangs".


I got it to work by resetting the KVM WITHOUT its own power unit
unplugged, so that power only came via the host PC's.

Maybe it IS a bad (as in too high a current) keyboard??

Hmmm, Sounds like the KVM power supply might have been flakey.
