LINDY Dual/Quad PRO Installation and Use Page 5
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. Your LINDY Dual/Quad PRO
is a very high performance Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse (KVM) sharing
device which supports a wide range of PC hardware and software platforms. The
LINDY Dual/Quad PRO supports multiple users and enables each user to
independently access the connected computers.
An On-Screen-Display (OSD) menu system is provided for easy computer selection
and control. This enables users to select computers by name or description without
having to remember the port that the computer is physically connected to. The OSD
menu system also provides a security structure that enables the system
administrator to allocate access rights to each user on a login basis.
LINDY Dual/Quad PRO products are fitted with one (2) or two (4) dual access user
ports. These dual access ports have both traditional KVM connectors for local
keyboard, monitor and mouse connections and an RJ45 link for connection to a
remote LINDY extender unit. This gives the user the ability to connect to the LINDY
Dual/Quad PRO from up to 200 metres away using common twisted pair network
cable whilst still having the ability to access the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO using a
local KVM console.
We trust that you will be delighted with the function of your new LINDY Dual/Quad
PRO. We are always interested to hear any suggestions that you may have for
additional features or functionality (email to: postmaster@lindy.co.uk). Product
enhancement upgrades are provided free of charge during the warranty period and
may be obtained by request from www.lindy.co.uk. Some of the main features and
benefits that are offered by your LINDY Dual/Quad PRO are listed in section 1.1
LINDY explains:
What does KVM stand for?
Throughout this manual the abbreviation KVM is used to refer to the combination of
a Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse that is used to access a computer. A KVM
console usually consists of a keyboard, monitor and mouse although sometimes
only a keyboard and monitor may be used. Devices such as the LINDY Dual/Quad
PRO are generally known as KVM sharers or KVM switches.
