PREFACE 

 
 
This manual refers to the stand-alone KVM OVER IP SWITCH (No.39414) as well as to the 
KVM over IP modules (No. 39432, 39636) that can be installed into the relevant KVM Switches 
CAT32, COMBO and U-Series. 
 
In January 2014, we introduced some important software changes: 

  We have issued a LINDY certificate for the JAVA applet required to run the JAVA based 

browser tools to access the KVM Switch. Since Oracle has issued the Java 7.51 update 
unsigned applets cannot be used any further 

  VNC support has been added to the KVM over IP Switches 

  French language option has been added  

 
The LINDY KVM OVER IP SWITCH features the latest and most technologically advanced SoC 
(System on Chip) IP KVM solution, based on Raritan / Peppercon’s latest IP-KVM engine 
technology.  
 
Some screenshots may display a slightly different design referring to an older firmware version.  
Due to constant technological advances and further development, changes to this product may 
be introduced without further notice. 
 
 
The LINDY team, January 2014
