Overview
English
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY KVM Extender Classic. The KVM
Extender Classic allows you to control your PC, server or KVM switch
from a keyboard, mouse and monitor at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 or
1680 x 1050 at distances of up to approximately 200 metres (600 feet)
away using low cost CAT5 or higher cable. When using lower resolution
the distance may even be extended to 300m (450 feet).
The KVM Extender Classic consists of a Transmitter (Local) unit and a
Receiver (Remote) unit. The Transmitter connects to a computer or KVM
switch. The Receiver unit is located at a remote location and connects to
a keyboard, monitor and mouse console. The KVM Extender Classic
converts the VGA and PS/2 signals into a signal that can be transmitted
over inexpensive CAT5 Ethernet cable.
The KVM Extender Classic is ideal for network managers and system
administrators - a workstation can be connected to the Receiver unit
allowing the operator to work on his computer or remotely on the KVM
switch. Additionally, a local console can be connected to the Transmitter
unit for direct access to the KVM switch. Both local and remote consoles
can access the servers connected to the KVM switch simultaneously,
governed by a short timeout.

Installation and Use
English
For connecting the local and remote units Category 5/5e/6 UTP cable
provides the best results. Using higher quality shielded STP/FTP cable
will result in a degraded video signal and shorter transmission distances.
See www.lindy.com for our extensive range of appropriate cables.
Make sure all of your computers and peripherals are switched OFF
before proceeding with the installation.
Local Transmitter Unit, Model 39397 (PS/2 & VGA)
Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor to the Console ports on the
Transmitter unit using one of the supplied 3-in-1 KVM cables. Connect
the ports labelled PC on the Transmitter unit to the keyboard, mouse and
video ports on your computer or the keyboard, video and mouse control
console ports on your KVM switch. Connect the CAT5/5e/6 network
cable to the RJ45 port.
Remote Receiver Unit, Model 39397 (PS/2 & VGA)
Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor to the ports on the Remote
unit labelled Console. If you want to have access to the remote server /
KVM switch as well as to your workstation at your desk, use the other 3-
in-1 cable to connect the keyboard, video and mouse ports labelled PC to
the keyboard, video and mouse ports on your local workstation. Connect
the CAT5/5e/6 network cable to the RJ45 port. Connect the power supply
jack to the port on the Remote unit. Plug the power supply into the mains.
Powering up and checking the installation
Power on the PC connected to the Remote Receiver unit and then power
on the PC / KVM Switch installation connected to the Local Transmitter
unit.
Check the display quality at the Remote Receiver console. Rotate the
VGA GAIN and FOCUS controls to adjust the picture quality until you get
the best result.
Hotkey commands (Remote Receiver only)
Both consoles of the extender can have simultaneous access to the
connected server or KVM switch. Active keyboard and mouse access is
governed by a short timeout period.
When you access from the local console at the Transmitter unit you can
operate your KVM switch using its regular keyboard hotkeys. When you
use the remote console you have two additional hotkeys that allow you to
switch between your workstation and remote KVM access.
You can switch console control at the Remote Receiver unit from PC port
(connected workstation) to RJ45 port (the PC / KVM switch connected to
the Local Transmitter) using this simple hotkey command:
+ + = Select PC or RJ45 Port
When switching, the appropriate LOCAL and REMOTE LED will light on
the Remote unit. You will also hear an audible confirmation. You can
enable and disable this audible beeper using this hotkey command:
+ + = Beeper ON/OFF
