Installation
1. Connect your DVI-D source to the Fibre Optic Transmitter (maximum cable length 5m).
2. For mouse and keyboard signals connect either the two PS/2 cables or the USB A/Mini-B
cable from the Fibre Optic Transmitter to your computer. The transmitter supports PS/2 as
well as USB connection for mouse and keyboard PC connection.
3. Remove the dust covers from the Fibre Optic Transmitter and Receiver ports and from your
SC Fibre Cable (maximum length 1000m). Connect one end of the SC duplex fibre cable to
the Transmitter and the other end to the Receiver. This must be set up as A to A and B to
B connection (see port labelling on the units) and NOT as a cross over connection as
provided by some SC Duplex Cables with pre-installed clamp on the connector. If you
have a cross over cable please swap the connectors over with each other on one end only.
Please ensure that the SC connectors are fully engaged before proceeding.
4. Use another DVI-D cable (maximum length 5m) to connect your DVI-D display device to the
DVI-D port on the Receiver.
5. Connect your USB (or multi protocol USB-PS/2) mouse and keyboard to the USB ports on
the receiver labelled with mouse and keyboard symbols.
6. If you are using the optional IR extender kit (LINDY No. 38006) please connect the IR
receiver to the receiver unit and the IR transmitter to the transmitter unit and place the IR
receiver and transmitter in appropriate position.
7. Plug the power supplies into the transmitter and receiver and power on.
8. Then power on your display and source to complete the installation
Please Note: The extender uses EDID emulation for the video signal resolution setting. The
highest supported resolution is 1920x1200@60Hz. If your monitor is only able to support
lower resolutions it may be necessary to set the video resolution on your signal source
(computer) before installing the extender.
Troubleshooting
If you have no image on your display
Check that the DC plugs and jacks used by external power supplies (both the extender units
and others) are firmly connected and that the Power LED is on.
Check that the SC fibre connectors are plugged in correctly and that the Link Status LED is
lit. If the Link LED is not lit then check your cable has a A:A and B:B configuration. If it still is
not lit, please try another SC cable to make sure it isn't broken.
Check that the DVI-D source and display are both powered on and active. Please note that
HDCP is not supported.
If Power and Link LEDs are on, reduce the length of DVI-D, USB and PS/2 cables.
If you cannot solve the problem please contact the LINDY Support team – you can find our
worldwide contact information always up to date on our website.
