Installation and Use
For connecting the local and remote units Category 5e/6 UTP cable
provides the best results. Using higher quality shielded STP/FTP cable
may result in a degraded video signal and shorter transmission
distances.
See www.lindy.com for our range of appropriate cables.
Make sure all of your computers and peripherals are switched OFF
before proceeding with the installation.
Your monitor at the remote Receiver should at least support the
resolution as provided by the remote system.
Receiver Unit, Model 39398
Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor to the Console ports on the
Receiver unit. You may either use USB or PS/2 mouse and keyboard.
Use the supplied 3-in-1 KVM cable to connect to your computer. Do NOT
connect USB AND PS/2 at the same time! If you want to connect via
USB use the VGA and USB connector only! If you want to connect via
PS/2 use the supplied USB to PS/2 adapter for the USB cable end on the
3-in-1 cable. Connect the Receiver's power supply and power on your
computer and monitor and check if the Receiver works correctly.
Connect the CAT5/5e/6 RJ45 cable to the RJ45 port. Do NOT use a
LAN/Ethernet connection. You must always use a dedicated direct
cable! Adding any additional connections in-between like wall
outlets etc. will result in reduced video quality!
Transmitter Unit, Model 39398
Connect the CAT5/5e/6 RJ45 cable to the RJ45 port.
Connect your console keyboard, mouse and monitor to the ports on the
Transmitter unit labelled Console. Use the other 3-in-1 cable to connect
to the keyboard, video and mouse ports on the KVM switch or on the
system. Regard the USB-PS/2 connectivity remarks as mentioned above!
Connect the Transmitter's power supply and power on your system and
monitor and check if the Transmitter is working correctly.
Now go to the Receiver and switch it to use the remote Cat.5
connection either by pressing the switch button or by typing in the
hotkey command CAPS + CAPS + left or right cursor key. Your
video image may be blurred in the beginning. It must now be tuned
via the OSD (On Screen Display) adjustment.
