Introduction and Features

This KVM extender allows you to connect consoles to computers via a distance of up to 130m for direct Cat.6
cable connection, or up to 200m via a gigabit network switch, or up to 500m/20km via fibre optic modules
Multi/Single Mode. The KVM signals are transmitted either via Cat.6 or via Duplex LC cables. The Extender
uses digital transmission ensuring there is no signal degradation as is typically experienced when using KVM
extenders for analogue VGA signals.

This extender family supports digital DVI-D Single Link signals up to 1920x1200. For reasons of space, the
Extenders 39200 - 39202 use HDMI receptacles, but HDMI features such as audio, HDCP, YUV/YCbCr,
deep colour are NOT supported.

This extender family supports almost all USB 1.1/2.0 devices, but USB flash drives and USB hard drive
enclosures are supported only by extender versions with Mass Storage support - this option can be upgraded
if required via paid unlock code (SN based) - please contact LINDY support. LINDY support also can provide
additional information for various mounting kits.

For the whole extender product family the following additional features can be upgraded via SN-related paid
unlock code (combinations of unlocks are also possible):

Mass Storage option, analogue audio option*, VGA option*, RS232 option*, matrix switching option.
* marked options are only available for models with DVI ports!
The matrix switching option introduced in 2015 requires the connection of all extender boxes via one Gigabit

switch. Each KVM connection requires 1Gbit/s bandwidth! Therefore switches cannot be cascaded, or they
require at least a 10Gbit/s. connection. Therefore as also for security reasons the KVM network must be
always separated.

Options must be purchased exclusively for the receiver and will automatically become available on the
connected transmitter. The VGA option allows the feeding of VGA sources, VGA signals are digitized and
transmitted and output as digital DVI-D signals from the receiver. Back conversion back to VGA requires an
additional external converter. In a Matrix Switching network options must be purchased for all receiver units.

In the versions with fibre optic connection the SFP module can be replaced against a single mode version
for distances up to 20 km.

Packaging Content TX and RX

Installation, Operation

The KVM extender basically consists of a transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX). The TX (see product label or
imprint local / pc on the front panel) connects the computer or the DVI signal source to the KVM extender by
enclosed monitor and USB cables. The RX provides a bypass port for a local monitor.

The RX (see product label or imprint remote / mon on the front panel) connects to the user console, the
monitor by the enclosed monitor cable. The RX supports direct connection of 4 USB devices and/or USB
hubs as well.

If you want to secure the transmitter and receiver to prevent slipping, attach the self-adhesive hook and loop
pads (enclosed) to the underside of the device. Accessories like mounting brackets, DIN rail, as well as a 19
inch rack mount shelves are available on option – please contact LINDY support.

The transmitter and receiver are connected with shielded Cat.5e/6/7 or LC-duplex cables. To achieve
maximum distances using cat. 6/7 direct connection please use high-quality solid core CAT 6 or higher cable,
E.g. LINDY no. 12047 / 12048.

Connect the power supply and switch on all devices. After connecting or
turning on, the transmitter and receiver automatically perform a cable or
connection test and calibration for approximately 5-10 seconds. During this
process the status LED on the front panel will flash different colours; the
meaning also is printed on the front panel.

When using HDMI monitors and HDMI/DP graphic cards colour distortions may occur because the EDID
signal of the monitor is forwarded by the Extender. In this case, set the graphics output to RGB signal, max.
32 bit or 8 bit colour depth, without HDCP. Or use a DVI output on the graphic card. Alternatively the DDC
settings of the extender can be set to a fixed preset value – see further below.

USB connections are hot pluggable. It is normal that after plugging a USB device this must be first recognized
and re-loaded. Via the Extender, a slightly larger amount of time is required for this than for direct computer
connections.

On Screen Menu

In the on screen menu device settings can be configured and
displayed. It also is used to update the firmware as well as for
activation of fee-based upgrade options like mass storage,
audio, VGA, RS232, and the switching option.

By security reason (configurable setting) the on screen menu
can be accessed only in the first few minutes after switching
on the Extender. To access the OSD the "Scroll Lock" key on
the keyboard must be pressed 5 times in quick succession. If
the OSD does not appear because the lock function is already
active, turn the Extender off/on and try again.

Menu item "U" is used to perform a firmware update. The
firmware is available on request at the LINDY tech support.

Menu item "M" indicates the installed options. The USB mass
storage support may temporarily be switched off if installed. To
change the options, you must purchase a fee-based activation
code dependent on the device ID for each RX. Note the device
ID displayed in the menu and contact LINDY support. This
activation code can be entered after entering the command "M"
in this menu.

Menu item "O" adjusts the treatment of the DDC/EDID
data. 0 or 1 defines to use the data of either the remote or
local monitor; the other settings define to use preset
EDID/DDC and resolutions.

Menu item "W" - network settings: refer to the switching
section.

Sub-menu item "K" - keyboard language. Currently, the
language layout can be selected between German, English,
French. Swiss and Italian may be added in the future.

This product is subject to continuous technological development.
