Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this LINDY Compact USB Audio KVM Switch. This product allows you to control two USB equipped computers using only one keyboard, one mouse and one VGA monitor. Not only this, but with its audio connections, you can share your speakers and microphone too.

Another neat feature of this switch is that you can connect a USB hub to either the keyboard or mouse input port and share your peripherals between the two connected computers. The hub connection feature supports USB 1.1 speeds only.

The switch’s built-in KVM connection cables make it really easy to use and set up – simply plug in your keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers and microphone, connect your computers and you’re ready to go!

This KVM Switch can be used with both PC and Mac computers. When using PCs with Windows ME/2000/XP and Vista you can switch control by pressing a button on the top of the switch, by using keyboard hotkey commands, or using the supplied software. If you are using Windows 98SE there is limited support for the KVM software switching, we recommend you use the push button switching option only.

We do not recommend you use this USB KVM Switch with PCs running Linux. Most of these systems do not have the required support and drivers for the USB KVM device included (as of January 2007) and may not boot up correctly or may not be able recognise the attached USB devices.

If you are using a Mac, you can switch using the push button only. For future improvements, including software switching for Mac users please visit the product page (No. 32797) on the LINDY website and check for updated software.
