1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC. This device allows
operators to monitor and access their computers from remote locations. The
IP ACCESS KVM
SWITCH CLASSIC connects to the internet, intranet, LAN or WAN using standard CAT5 or
higher cable, then uses a KVM cable to connect a local KVM switch or server.
The IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC combines convenient digital remote KVM access and
control with integrated system management. It captures, digitizes and compresses the video
signal and transmits it alongside the keyboard and mouse signals, to and from a remote
computer. The IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC provides a non-intrusive solution for
remote access and control. Remote access and control software runs on its embedded
processors only – so there is no interference with server operation, or impact on network
performance.
The IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC supports PS/2 keyboard/mouse and 15-way VGA
type monitor connections. It automatically detects the video mode of the console and allows
manual fine tuning for improved video quality.
The IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC also features remote mass storage support – the unit
connects via a USB connection to the computer and allows virtual storage devices to be setup
on the host and accessed from the client.
