The remote access KVM over IP module, LINDY No. 39636, can be installed at any time. (To install it into the KVM Switch CAT-32 ensure all connected computers are switched off or disconnected and the power supply is unplugged. Open the slot on the back of the KVM Switch and slide the module into the slot.)

The local monitor, PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard is connected using their standard cables.

To connect each individual computer to the switch, Cat.5/6 computer modules are required. For USB or PS/2 computers different modules have to be used as listed below:

A Cat.5e or 6 UTP cable of appropriate length (max. 100m) is required to connect the KVM Switch to the computer modules. These cables are available from LINDY in several different colors and lengths from 0.3m up to 100m. We don’t recommend using shielded FTP/STP cables. Please find a small overview below:
