Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this LINDY Classic 8/16 Remote-Series KVM Switch. Please read this
manual carefully to fully understand the functions and features that the switch offers.
Using the LINDY Classic 8/16 Remote-Series KVM Switches a system administrator can access
and control several computers from one location. In addition the KVM Switch Classic Remote
allows you to install an optional KVM over IP Remote Access Module into a slot at the back of
the KVM switch. With this module installed the administrator can access any of the computers
connected to the KVM Switch Classic Remote from any remote computer on your LAN or via
the Internet. This manual does not cover the set up and use of the optional KVM over IP Access
Module – for detailed instructions on its use then please refer to the quick start guide and full
manual for the KVM over IP Remote Access Module.
The LINDY Classic 8/16 Remote-Series KVM Switches allow direct access to up to 16 PCs
using a single KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) either from a local or remote console. In
addition switches can be easily daisy chained to administrate a larger number of computers. A
dedicated daisy chain port allows a total number of 8 KVM Switches to be connected together to
control up to 128 computers. Using this cascade port method ensures that none of the computer
ports are lost due to cascading.
Alternatively several KVM Switches can be used with individual KVM over IP Access Modules
installed and each can individually be accessed from one or several system administrators
simultaneously. PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are supported. If you want to connect
computers with USB mouse and keyboard ports then please use LINDY No. 42866 PS/2 to
USB adapters to easily adapt from PS/2 to USB ports.
The Classic 8/16 Remote-Series KVM Switches support three methods of switching between
the connected computers: by pressing the KVM switch front panel push buttons; by using
keyboard hotkeys; or via OSD (On Screen Display). The keyboard and mouse connections of all
connected computers and servers are emulated at all times. This prevents error messages
when switching between connected computers.
The Classic 8/16 Remote-Series KVM Switches are backwards compatible with previous
versions of LINDY Classic- and P-Series KVM Switches and can be used to set up a mixed
daisy chained installation. In this case the P-series KVM switches should be used as slave units
to a Classic 8/16 Remote model as this will offer you advanced OSD and hotkey switching for
the complete installation over all units as well as the remote IP access option.
The Classic 8/16 Remote-Series KVM Switches are also compatible with most other brands of
KVM switches using a port cascaded installation. To prevent any conflicts, please ensure that
the hotkeys used are not the same as those used on the Classic 8/16 Remote-Series KVM
Switches.
Please Note - As the KVM Switch has to forward and emulate mouse and keyboard
signals to the connected computers, it has to 'understand' the bus signals that the PS/2
mice and keyboards are sending. The LINDY Classic 8/16 KVM Switches support all
standard PS/2 mice with up to 5 buttons and 2 scroll wheels. Some advanced features
and proprietary functions of wireless/RF mice and keyboards with non-standard drivers
may not be supported.
