Surface dock issues with KVM

Hello,

I'm having issues with my Surface Book 2 connecting it to a KVM switch. 

KVM: https://www.delock.com/produkte/G\_11467/merkmale.html

Desktop PC:   DP to DP to the switch

Surface Book 2:  Surface dock, and then mini DP to DP to the switch

Issue is that the KVM won't switch as it doesn't seem to get a DP signal ?  The display on my surface also stays on (normally it goes blank and only the monitor displays the desktop when connecting it directly to the DP port of the monitor) 

I'm suspecting the surface dock doesn't pass the DP signal when connected to the KVM ?

How can I force this ... the KVM is useless otherwise

    Hi Spacekiek, 

    We'd like to know more about the issue:

    1. Is this the first time you have set-up?
    2. Have you tried connecting the switch directly from the Surface Book 2?

    Keep us posted.
