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.
Recommended System Requirements:
PC with USB support running Windows ME, 2000, XP or Vista
Mac with OS X or above.
