Connecting the LINDY USB converter cable

The LINDY USB converter cable is primarily designed for use with a USB-enabled computer and a traditional Keyboard, Video and Mouse (KVM) switch unit.

Note: It is technically possible to connect your PS/2-style keyboard, PS/2-style mouse and monitor directly to the cable. However, you would first need to purchase separate gender changers for the PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors (LINDY No. 70342) and possibly one also for the video connector (LINDY No. 70094).

To connect the USB converter cable

1.If possible, switch off your computer(s) and KVM switch.

2.At the end of the cable that has three plugs, connect the keyboard, mouse, and video plugs to the relevant sockets on your KVM switch.

3.At the other end of the converter cable with two plugs, connect the video and USB plugs to the relevant sockets on your computer.

4.Switch on your computer(s) and KVM switch, and operate in the usual manner.

Note: If you are connecting to a Sun computer then it may be necessary to report a keyboard country code to the system before correct operation can occur. Please refer to the section ‘Software upgrades and keyboard emulations’ for more information on downloading the necessary files.

Your USB converter cable emulates the presence of a keyboard and mouse (via the USB connector) to the computer at all times. This means that there will be no delay in response when switching to this channel.
