Local console connections: Keyboard and mouse

The LINDY KVM IP supports both PS/2-style and USB-style keyboard and mouse connections.

To connect a local keyboard and mouse

1Wherever possible, ensure that power is disconnected from the LINDY KVM IP. Position a suitable keyboard and mouse in the vicinity of the LINDY KVM IP such that their cables will easily reach.

2Connect the PS/2 or USB style keyboard and mouse to the KVMA CONSOLE section of the LINDY KVM IP rear panel:

PS/2 style Connect PS/2 style keyboard and mouse cables to the ports

marked and within the KVMA CONSOLE section of the rear panel.

USB link Connect USB style keyboard and mouse cables to the ports marked K / M within the KVMA CONSOLE section of the rear panel.

IMPORTANT: There is no internal conversion between PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections and USB. Hence, if you use a PS/2 style keyboard and mouse at the local console, you must also use PS/2 style links from the LINDY KVM IP to the computer / KVMA switch. Similarly, if you use a USB style keyboard and mouse at the local console, you must also use a USB style link from the LINDY KVM IP to the computer / KVMA switch. You may use the USB Virtual Media link with any combination of other devices. You must not mix USB and PS/2 style keyboards and mice on the same device.

Local console. Why?

A locally connected keyboard, video monitor and mouse are required during the initial configuration of the LINDY KVM IP. However, these are also useful during normal use to allow quick local control of any connected host computers.
