Connections - Lindy 39414 User Manual

You may either use PS/2 or USB mouse and keyboard.
However, please note that USB mouse and keyboard signals from your local console will not be
converted and output as PS/2 signals to your server/KVM switch!
2.2.1 Host or KVM Switch Connection Side -
Use the 3in1 KVM cable (VGA & 2x PS/2) attached to the KVM Switch to make the connections
to the host computer. If you want to use the USB mouse and keyboard, or the USB virtual
media feature, use the supplied USB A-Mini B cable to connect the USB Mini B port on the back
of the KVM OVER IP SWITCH to a USB port on your server or KVM switch.
2.2.2 Console Connection Side -
Stand-alone version only!
Connect your local keyboard, monitor and mouse console using the short VGA and PS/2 3in1
KVM splitter cable - connected to the KVM over IP SWITCH port labelled Local - if you want to
use PS/2 peripherals – if you want to use USB peripherals only you may connect your monitor
directly to the HD15 connector on the IP KVM Switch. If you want to use a USB mouse and
keyboard connect them to the ports labelled USB located below the RJ45 ports. However,
please note that USB mouse and keyboard signals from your local console will not be converted
and output as PS/2 signals to your server/KVM switch.
2.2.3 Network Connection
The stand-alone KVM OVER IP SWITCH provides two RJ45 ports for Ethernet connection - the
second port can be used to cascade multiple KVM IP Switches. The module version only
provides one RJ45 port.
The ports can be used with a 100Mbps, 100Base-TX connection or a 10Mbps, 10Base-T
connection. The KVM OVER IP SWITCH will sense the connection speed and automatically
adjust to the appropriate operation mode.
10Mbps Connection, 10Base-T
Please note that this slow connection may not provide sufficient performance for the
compressed video data traffic and will result in low video and colour resolution and significantly
delayed reaction time for remote connections!
Stand-alone version only!

2.2.4 Dial up Line / Modem Connection
The RS232 port of the KVM OVER IP SWITCH can either be used to connect to an external
Modem i.e. to set up a dial up line connection or can be used to connect to an external RS232
managed power switch. Use the supplied cable to connect the appropriate unit.
2.2.5 Connecting an External Power Switch option
At the time of writing (October 2009) the KVM OVER IP SWITCH supports the following
external power switch options: Peppercon IPM-220L, Avocent SPC1 800/1600, Sentry In-Line
Power Module, Leaning ePowerSwitch.
However, we strongly suggest to use a directly IP managed power switch such as the LINDY
IPower Switches No.s 32657, 32658, 32652 or 32656
