Lindy Switch manual Part 2 Remote configuration, To perform the remote configuration

Part 2 – Remote configuration

The second part of the configuration requires you to log into the LINDY KVM IP from a system via either a network connection or a dial-up connection (via modem or ISDN). In either case there are two types of access applications that you can use:

•The VNC viewer – a small application supplied on the CD-ROM or downloadable from the RealVNC website or even downloadable from the LINDY KVM IP itself.

or

•A standard browser that supports Java – As soon as a web browser makes contact, the LINDY KVM IP downloads a Java application to it. This allows a viewer window to be opened and operation to commence just as it would with the VNC viewer application.

To perform the remote configuration

1Use either the VNC viewer or a standard web browser to make remote contact with the LINDY KVM IP – see Connecting to the LINDY KVM IP for more details.
