switch series and shows you how to quickly set up the device for use. For detailed
operating instructions please refer to the user manual supplied on the enclosed CD
The LINDY Modular KVM Switch Series U8/U16
The U8/16 KVM switch series provides either 8 or 16 KVM server ports supporting both PS/2 and USB
keyboard and mouse connections. This KVM switch series incorporates a modular concept design which
allows for dual console access. The local console port allows direct access whilst a second console
option permits remote access either via remote IP or via a remote Cat.5 extender Unit. This allows
system administrators to access and administer their servers and KVM switches from a remote office
workstation. Optional KVM over IP or Cat.5 access modules may be purchased separately and are
simply installed into the back of a U8/16-Modular KVM Switch.
The U8/16 series KVM switches are compatible with almost any KVM switches using standard VGA,
keyboard and mouse signals. Please note however that compatibility is only provided via the server ports
of the U8/16 series KVM switch and not via the daisy chain ports! The U8/16 is also compatible with
.
older LINDY P-Series KVM switches. Should you wish to mix U- and P-series KVMs or other brand
KVMs then it has to be done via port cascading because daisy chain configuration of mixed U- and P-
series KVMs is not supported. In this case the other KVM switch hotkeys have to be different from the
U8/U16 hotkey (default hotkey = Caps Lock)

use a system cable as mentioned below for cascading via the computer / server ports.
To connect each individual computer to the switch, you will need to purchase special LINDY KVM
