Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this LINDY P/PXT-Series CPU Switch. Please read this manual
carefully to understand the functions and features of your new Switch.
About this manual - This manual covers the P-Series and Dual Console PXT-Series
CPU Switches. These switches share many of the same functions. Where there is a
difference this is clearly stated.
Using LINDY P/PXT-Series CPU Switches you can save on the additional cost of multiple
keyboards, monitors and mice. You will also save on rack space and eliminate the problems of
using the wrong keyboard or mouse. The system administrator can control the complete
installation and access any connected PC from one centralised location.
LINDY P-Series CPU Switches allow direct access to up to 16 PCs using a single KVM
(Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) console.
The PXT-Series Switches provide an additional second console port for remote console
operation up to 150m away, using the supplied CAT5 remote receiver. This receiver unit can
connect to an operator’s local workstation computer to allow either KVM console operation or
local workstation control.
The LINDY CPU P/PXT Switches can be easily daisy chained to administrate a larger number
of PCs. The dedicated daisy chain port allows 8 CPU Switches to be connected together, to
control up to 128 PCs. None of the PC ports are lost by cascading.
PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are supported. Please visit www.lindy.com for details of
CPU Switches which can be used to integrate and connect USB computers.
The P/PXT-Series CPU Switches support three methods of switching between the connected
computers: by pressing the KVM switch front panel push buttons; by using keyboard hotkeys; or
via OSD (On Screen Display). The keyboard and mouse connections of all connected PCs and
servers are emulated at all times. This prevents error messages when switching between
connected PCs.
Please note - As the CPU Switch has to forward and emulate mouse and keyboard
signals to any connected PC or server, it has to ‘understand’ the bus signals that the
PS/2 mice and keyboards are sending. P/PXT-Series CPU Switches support all
standard PS/2 mice with up to 5 buttons and 2 scroll wheels. Some advanced features
and proprietary functions of wireless/RF mice and keyboards with non-standard
Microsoft® drivers may not be supported by the CPU Switch.

Installation
Before you start please verify that all parts
are included according to the package
contents.
If you want to install the CPU Switch in a 19”
server rack please attach the enclosed 19”
rackmount brackets using the included
screws.
P-Series - Apart from the PCs to be connected you will need a keyboard, monitor and
PS/2 mouse to use as a local console. You will also need standard 3-in-1 KVM
connection cables to connect the computers to the LINDY CPU Switch P4 and P8.
Please note: For the CPU Switch P16 and for all CPU switches of PXT-Series special
cables are required to connect the computers. This is so the 16 ports can be integrated
into the 1U height design.
Note: If some cables are not long enough we recommend that the complete cable is replaced
with a longer length rather than using extension cables. Extension cables introduce additional
plug to socket connections, which can adversely affect the signal quality. Please bear this in
mind when using high resolutions or long distances.
15 Way HD Male to 15 Way HD Male and 6 Pin Mini DIN Male special cables
→
PXT - Apart from the PCs to be connected you will need two keyboard, monitor and
PS/2 mouse sets – one for the local console and one for the remote console.
A local workstation computer at the remote extender has to be connected and powered
up to ensure proper operation of the CAT5 Extender.
Please note: Special cables (not included) are required to connect the computers to
the CPU Switch. (See above)

English Manual
Step 1
Switch off all the computers to be attached.
Step 2 – Local Console
Connect the keyboard, monitor and mouse
directly to the sockets of the LINDY CPU
Switch labelled Console Port. If your
keyboard has a 5 Pin DIN connector you can
use a PS/2 adaptor (LINDY No. 70129).
Please note: Serial Mice with 9 Way D or
USB connectors are not supported and
cannot be used!
Step 3 – Remote Console (PXT only)
1. Use CAT5 or higher, straight through type network cable. The maximum connection
distance is 150m (500 feet)
2. Plug one end of the cable into the RJ-45 connector on the PXT switch. Plug the other
end of the cable into the RJ-45 port on the Remote Receiver module
3. Connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the relevant ports on the Remote
Receiver module

6. When using CAT5/5e/6 cable over a distance greater than 90m
(300 feet), please set the DIP switches at the rear of the CPU
Switch to ON/ON. (Please note that video resolutions over
1280x1024 are not supported for distances greater than 90m)
Note: Both local and remote consoles have the same priority control of the switch and
the connected computers. Therefore, to prevent erratic operation please ensure that the
local and remote consoles are not used at the same time!
Step 4 – Computer connection
After the console ports are connected, connect the servers and PCs to the ports labelled 1…16.
Attach the power supply to the CPU Switch and plug the other end into a mains socket. You will
see the LED for Port 1 light up, and you will hear a beep. Switch on your monitor.
Note: Always plug in the power supply. Although the PCs connected to the CPU Switch
may be able to supply enough power to the unit, the power adapter is needed to daisy
chain more CPU Switches. If you do not plug in the power adapter unexpected and
erratic operation may occur.
Step 5 – VGA Tuning of the CAT5 Extender (PXT only)
Computer connection (image shows CPU Switch P8 model)
When using the Remote Console Receiver, optimum image quality can
be maintained by using the VGA Tuning adjustment control on top of the

Cascading / Daisy Chaining of multiple CPU Switches
You can integrate up to 8 CPU Switches in one KVM daisy chained installation. Using the CPU
Switch P16 or P16XT, this gives a maximum of 128 attached computers.
Please note: If the daisy chain cable length over all CPU Switches exceeds 10m (30
feet) and picture quality deteriorates, a VGA amplifier such as the LINDY VGA Extender
(LINDY No. 32386) can be used.
To connect an additional CPU Switch to the MASTER (or previous) CPU Switch use a standard
(VGA + 2 x PS/2) 3-in-1 KVM cable, all connectors male.
Note: In a mixed P/PXT Series daisy chained/cascaded installation the MASTER CPU
Switch must be a PXT model.
If you would like to daisy chain 4, 8 port and 16 port CPU Switches together, the
MASTER CPU Switch must be a 16 port CPU Switch!
Step 1 - Connect the local console
Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console port (white coloured background) of
the MASTER CPU Switch.
Step 2
Use one end of a 3-in-1 KVM cable to connect the daisy chain port of the MASTER/previous
CPU Switch and the other end to the console port (white coloured background) of the next
SLAVE CPU Switch.
Step 3 - Cascading
Repeat the previous step to daisy chain more CPU Switches. Each individual switch in the chain
represents a different Bank. The MASTER switch is Bank 1 and each cascaded SLAVE follows
on as Bank 2, 3, 4 etc. to a maximum of eight banks/switches.
Note: If video quality
Bank 1 (Master
deteriorates you can
add a VGA amplifier
such as the LINDY
VGA Extender (No.
Bank 2
32386), between the
fifth and the sixth CPU
Switch to enhance the
Bank 3...to a maximum of 8

Step 4 – Resetting the Switches
After you have connected and switched on the SLAVE CPU switches and computers, all of the
CPU switches must be reset. First, reset the SLAVE CPU Switch at the end of the daisy chain
and then reset all of the other SLAVE switches up to the MASTER CPU switch.
To reset the switch, press and hold the Bank button and P4 or P8 button (depending on model)
on the front panel of the switch.
Each SLAVE switch should now show a dash in its BANK display.
Now, reset the MASTER switch - it will show a 1 in the BANK display. Each SLAVE switch
BANK display will now change to a number according to its position in the daisy chain.

Operation
Important note: Your monitor will only display one PC signal at any one time. All
keyboard and mouse commands are sent to this PC only. After initial power up, port 1 is
active by default.
When a PC is connected to the currently selected port and it is not switched on,
or is in sleep mode, the monitor will not display any signal.
Password Security
When you power on the CPU Switch it will ask you for a password. The default password is
eight zeros –“00000000”. Please key in eight zeros in the password field.
Note: Please don’t change the password until you are familiar with the operation of the OSD
menu – i.e. keep the default password “00000000”. Otherwise, if you forget the password, you
will need to send the CPU Switch back to LINDY for maintenance to clear the password.
Hot Plug Support
The CPU Switch supports a “Hot Plug” function for easy addition or removal of PCs. The user
can arrange or maintain the PCs as follows:
a. A PC can be disconnected and reconnected to the same or different port of the KVM switch
without having to power it off as long as it is currently not connected to the console.
b. The mouse driver of the PC has to support the hot plug function or the computer may need
to be rebooted when it is reconnected.
c. You can unplug your mouse or keyboard from the console port and plug it back in at any
time. You should not use different types of mice when doing this
d. A SLAVE CPU switch can be added or removed at any time, but after adding or removing a
switch you must reboot all of the CPU switches. You DO NOT need to reboot the computers.
Please note: Some Operating Systems such as certain Unix versions are unable to
support the “Hot Plug” function. If you Hot Plug when using this kind of O.S., it may cause
unpredictable operation or may shut down the PC. Before attempting to use the Hot Plug
feature, please make sure you’re O.S. and mouse software driver support the Hot Plug
feature.

English Manual
Troubleshooting
If none of the LED displays of the CPU Switch are illuminated please check that the power
adapter is connected and switched on at the mains. The polarity is centre positive and the
power adapter needs to be DC 12V, 1A (or minimum DC 9V, 1A).
PXT models only: From the Remote CAT5 console the OSD is only available when you
have switched access from the local workstation to the CPU Switch. For troubleshooting
the CAT5 Remote Console unit, please see the end of this section.
Before you check any further please make sure that all cables are well connected!
If the CPU Switch reacts to keyboard input from the SCROLL LOCK key with a beep signal but
you get no monitor picture displayed please check if the currently selected computer is in sleep
mode or powered down. You can try to wake up this computer by pressing the ESCAPE key
several times until the CPU Switch no longer beeps, and then pressing spacebar or RETURN
key to wake up the computer. The CPU Switch supports VGA power save modes and suspends
the monitor signal if the currently selected computer has switched off the VGA signal.
1. Please check if your problem can be solved by resetting the CPU switch, via the push
buttons on the front panel. For cascaded systems please follow the procedures mentioned
in the CASCADING section.
2. The Monitor picture is not sharp or shows shadows: The maximum recommended VGA
cable distance is 5 meters without ghosting and degradation. Make sure you have used
high quality video cables with coaxial cores. If the diameter of the cable is less then 6mm
then the cable may not be high enough quality.
3. The maximum recommended PS/2 cable distance is 5 metres. Normally, the cable length is
based on the electronic driver capacity of your motherboards PS/2 ports. If you need longer
PS/2 distances it may be necessary to use a PS/2 extender.
4. Don’t press any keys on the keyboard while the selected computer is booting up. Otherwise
it may cause a keyboard error, or the keyboard may not be detected at the PC side.
5. The computer boots up fine, but the keyboard doesn’t work:
a) Make sure the keyboard works when directly plugged into the computer.
b) Try a different keyboard, but use standard PS/2 keyboards (some keyboards with extra
multimedia keys may not be supported).
6. The Mouse is not detected during PC boot up:
a. Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer. You have to
install the appropriate mouse driver on all connected computers!
b. Make sure the mouse is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work just as long as it
is set for PS/2 mode with the correct adapter. Try a different mouse.
c. Some advanced mice like radio frequency mice, 5 button mice and scroll wheel mice
use very uncommon proprietary signals. Although LINDY has carefully checked for the
highest compatibility, we cannot guarantee that the CPU Switch will work with all known
mice, especially those developed and produced after P-Series/PXT-Series Switch
production.
16
English Manual
d. Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching ports.
e. Avoid switching ports during the PC shut down process.
7. If you have forgotten the “password” please contact LINDY.
PXT models only:
If everything works fine using the local console access to the CPU Switch, but problems occur
when you try to access from the CAT5 Extender please check the following.
Please see the hotkey commands above to switch remote console access between local
workstation computer and the CPU Switch ( Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + C)
Mouse or keyboard problems
Please note that you should use similar or identical mice on both the remote and local console.
Make sure the correct mouse driver is installed on any PCs/servers connected to the switch and
the local workstation computer. Special functions of RF wireless mice like ID recognition and
battery status are proprietary mouse protocols and therefore are not supported by the KVM
switch. In such cases you may have to use Microsoft standard mouse drivers that will support all
the functions of 3 button and scroll wheel mice. The same applies to keyboards with special
multimedia buttons and proprietary drivers.
Monitor and/or OSD is not displayed correctly on the remote console
Please note that you must have the Extender power supply and a local workstation computer
powered on and attached to the CAT5 Remote Console unit. Otherwise the OSD and/or graphic
signal may not be displayed correctly on the remote console.
Please also note the maximum resolution versus distance over the CAT5 extension:
Up to 1600x1200 for distances up to 50m
Up to 1024x768 for distances up to 100m
Up to 800x600 for distances up to 150m
These are approximate values which depend on the quality and capability of your graphics
cards and monitors.

zentralen Konsole, bei den P-XT Modellen zusätzlich von einer weiteren Konsole z.B. im Büro.
LINDY CPU Switches der P-Serie erlauben den Zugriff auf bis zu 16 direkt angeschlossene
Rechner von einem einzigen Eingabeplatz mit Monitor, Maus und Tastatur.
LINDY CPU Switches der P-XT-Serie stellen einen zweiten Eingabeplatz zur Verfügung. Er
kann über den integrierten Cat.5 KVM Extender in einer Entfernung bis zu 150m an den
Büroarbeitsplatz des Systemadministrators abgesetzt werden. Dort bietet die Cat.5 Extenderbox die Möglichkeit zwischen Zugriff auf den Büro-Arbeitsplatzrechner und den CPU Switch und
damit alle angeschlossenen Server hin und her zu schalten.
Zum Anschluss von mehr als 16 Rechnern können die LINDY CPU P/P-XT Switches auf
einfachste Weise in einem Daisy Chain Bus kaskadiert werden. Bis zu 8 CPU Switches können
in einem Bus mit maximal 128 Servern zusammen gefasst werden. Dabei gehen keine Ports
durch Kaskadierung verloren.
Die CPU Switches der P/P-XT-Serie unterstützen das Umschalten zwischen den
angeschlossenen Rechnern auf 3 Arten: Auswahl über die Tasten an der Frontblende des CPU
Switch, Auswahl über Bildschirmmenü (OSD, On Screen Display), Auswahl über Tastaturhotkey. Die Tastatur- und Mausverbindungen werden vom CPU Switch permanent für alle
angeschlossenen Rechner emuliert, so dass keine Fehlermeldungen von den angeschlossenen
Rechnern erzeugt werden.
Bitte beachten - Da der CPU Switch die Maus- und Tastatursignale interpretieren,
emulieren und weiterleiten muss, ist es erforderlich, dass er die Protokolle “versteht”.
Die CPU Switches der P/P-XT-Serie unterstützen PS/2-Mäuse mit bis zu 5 Tasten und
2 Scrollrädern. Einige erweiterte Funktionen von kabellosen (Funk-)Mäusen und –
Tastaturen, die proprietäre nicht voll Microsoft® kompatible Treiber verwenden werden
möglicherweise nicht unterstützt.
