Overview
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY KVM Extender Combo 300. The
KVM Extender Combo 300 allows you to control your PC, server or KVM
switch from a keyboard, mouse and monitor at a resolution of 1920 x
1200 at distances of up to approximately 300 metres (900 feet) away
using low cost UTP CAT5 or higher cable.
The KVM Extender Combo 300 consists of a Transmitter (Local) unit and
a Receiver (Remote) unit. The Transmitter connects to a computer or
KVM switch. The Receiver unit is located at a remote location and
connects to a keyboard, monitor and mouse console offering a KVM
switch to switch between a local connected computer and the remote

system.
The KVM Extender Combo 300 converts the VGA, USB and PS/2 signals
Italiano
into a signal that can be transmitted over inexpensive CAT5 Ethernet
cable. The extender accepts USB as well as PS/2 keyboard and mouse
signals in any combination and can also output it in any combination.
However, please note that for USB only HID devices like mice and
keyboards are supported. The extender only supports standard signals
for mice with up to 5 buttons as well as standard keyboard functions.
The VGA signal is separated into the RGB components and sent over
individual twisted pairs of the RJ45 cable. The extender features an OSD
adjustable electronic skew compensation and amplification circuit to
adjust the video quality to the connection cable to provide optimum video
quality.
The KVM Extender Combo 300 is ideal for network managers and
system administrators - a workstation can be connected to the Receiver
unit allowing the operator to work on his computer or remotely on the
KVM switch. Additionally, a local console can be connected to the
Transmitter unit for direct access to the KVM switch. Both local and
remote consoles can access the servers connected to the KVM switch
simultaneously, governed by a short timeout.
Installation and Use
For connecting the local and remote units Category 5e/6 UTP cable
provides the best results. Using higher quality shielded STP/FTP cable
may result in a degraded video signal and shorter transmission
distances.
For distances up to 100m ready-made high quality LINDY Cat.6A or
Cat.6 S/FTP patch cables may be used.
See www.lindy.com for our range of appropriate cables.
Make sure all of your computers and peripherals are switched OFF
before proceeding with the installation.
Your monitor at the remote Receiver should at least support the
resolution as provided by the remote system.
Do NOT use a LAN/Ethernet connection. You must always use a
dedicated direct cable! Adding any additional connections in-
between like wall outlets etc. will result in reduced video quality!
