USB Device Sharing
This KVM Switch provides USB keyboard & mouse ports as well as two USB 2.0 or USB 3.0/2.0
(depending on model) hub ports to connect additional USB devices.
The built-in USB hub supports USB data rates of up to 480Mbit/s for the USB 2.0 models and
5Gbit/s for USB 3.0 models. The internal USB hub ports also support the connection of an
additional USB hub allowing more than two devices to be connected to the KVM switch. USB
devices can either be switched together with the KVM function or configured to be excluded from
switching.
Important Note: If you share USB Pen Drives, Card Readers or other memory devices, and
switch them between your computers, you must make sure that any current data transfer is
completed before you change channels. If you do not do this the active data transfer may be
interrupted and files may become corrupted or lost. To prevent such problems, make sure that
any data transfer has completed or use the Windows or Mac function to remove the USB
hardware safely.
Pre-Installation Remarks
DVI versions:
VGA operation: This KVM Switch only switches analogue and digital signals;
it does not convert the video signal. If you want to connect analogue VGA signals then you have
to use analogue VGA monitors and you should use LINDY DVI to VGA cables.
Mixed DVI-D and VGA operation: You can connect VGA and DVI-D signals from separate
computers. Your monitor must support both VGA as well as DVI-D signals and should
automatically switch to the active signal. If your monitor has two separate inputs for analogue
(VGA) and digital (DVI-D) signals then you will need to use a LINDY Video Splitter Cable (No.
41008) to connect your monitor.
DVI-I Dual monitor operation mixed DVI-D and VGA on single head DVI-I ports: You can
connect and switch both digital DVI-D and analogue VGA signals (dual monitor operation) using
DVI-I cables. Use the LINDY Video Splitter Cable (No. 41008) to connect to your DVI-D monitor
and a short VGA extension cable (i.e. No. 36391, 36450 or 36392) to extend the splitter cable to
your VGA monitor. You may need an additional Video Splitter Cable (No. 41008) if your graphics
card outputs the VGA and DVI-D signals via individual ports.
DVI Dual Head Quad Monitor operation – Using the same adapters and cables as above the
DVI-I Dual head versions can support up to 4 monitors at the same time.
DisplayPort and HDMI versions:
Please use short DP/HDMI cables only, the length should not exceed 2m, especially for high
resolutions. DP and HDMI also support digital audio and HDCP. However, analogue and digital
audio signals are not converted. Only analogue audio signals can be switched independently.
USB 3.0 versions:
The USB 3.0 KVM Switch supports USB 3.0 devices and hubs on the blue coloured USB ports.
These ports are USB 2.0/1.1 backwards compatible. If you are connecting USB 3.0 devices and
computers, please make sure to use high quality cables not longer than 3m.
