USB Device Sharing
This KVM Switch provides USB keyboard & mouse ports as well as two USB 2.0 or USB 3.0/2.0
(depending on model) hub ports to connect additional USB devices.
The built-in USB hub supports USB data rates of up to 480Mbit/s for the USB 2.0 models and
5Gbit/s for USB 3.0 models. The internal USB hub ports also support the connection of an
additional USB hub allowing more than two devices to be connected to the KVM switch. USB
devices can either be switched together with the KVM function or configured to be excluded from
switching.
Important Note: If you share USB Pen Drives, Card Readers or other memory devices, and
switch them between your computers, you must make sure that any current data transfer is
completed before you change channels. If you do not do this the active data transfer may be
interrupted and files may become corrupted or lost. To prevent such problems, make sure that
any data transfer has completed or use the Windows or Mac function to remove the USB
hardware safely.
Pre-Installation Remarks
DVI versions:
VGA operation: This KVM Switch only switches analogue and digital signals;
it does not convert the video signal. If you want to connect analogue VGA signals then you have
to use analogue VGA monitors and you should use LINDY DVI to VGA cables.
Mixed DVI-D and VGA operation: You can connect VGA and DVI-D signals from separate
computers. Your monitor must support both VGA as well as DVI-D signals and should
automatically switch to the active signal. If your monitor has two separate inputs for analogue
(VGA) and digital (DVI-D) signals then you will need to use a LINDY Video Splitter Cable (No.
41008) to connect your monitor.
DVI-I Dual monitor operation mixed DVI-D and VGA on single head DVI-I ports: You can
connect and switch both digital DVI-D and analogue VGA signals (dual monitor operation) using
DVI-I cables. Use the LINDY Video Splitter Cable (No. 41008) to connect to your DVI-D monitor
and a short VGA extension cable (i.e. No. 36391, 36450 or 36392) to extend the splitter cable to
your VGA monitor. You may need an additional Video Splitter Cable (No. 41008) if your graphics
card outputs the VGA and DVI-D signals via individual ports.
DVI Dual Head Quad Monitor operation – Using the same adapters and cables as above the
DVI-I Dual head versions can support up to 4 monitors at the same time.
DisplayPort and HDMI versions:
Please use short DP/HDMI cables only, the length should not exceed 2m, especially for high
resolutions. DP and HDMI also support digital audio and HDCP. However, analogue and digital
audio signals are not converted. Only analogue audio signals can be switched independently.
USB 3.0 versions:
The USB 3.0 KVM Switch supports USB 3.0 devices and hubs on the blue coloured USB ports.
These ports are USB 2.0/1.1 backwards compatible. If you are connecting USB 3.0 devices and
computers, please make sure to use high quality cables not longer than 3m.

Installation
Please install your KVM Switch Pro USB Audio as described below:
Step 1. Connect the power supply to the KVM switch before you connect any other cables.
Step 2. Connect your keyboard & mouse to the USB ports and your monitor to the monitor port
labelled CONSOLE on the KVM switch – Please regard the maximum monitor cable lengths
as mentioned in this manual and in the product descriptions on the LINDY website. Connect
your speakers and microphone if required.
Step 3. Connect your computers using high quality cables of appropriate length – The maximum
distance for USB 2.0 is 5m and 3m for USB 3.0. If you require a longer distance then please
use a USB Active Extension Cable. Please also regard the maximum video cable lengths as
mentioned.
Step 4. Turn on the power to all devices and computers.
Step 5. Your computer should now boot and detect the newly installed hardware. Windows OS
will detect and install multiple USB device drivers. Please wait until this procedure has finally
completed to ensure correct operation.
A Mac system may not identify PC keyboards at the first boot and may show an identification
menu; please follow the on-screen information. In some cases, it may be necessary to unplug the
keyboard & mouse and re-connect to allow the USB ports to re-detect.
Windows OS includes all relevant USB device drivers so no additional drivers are required to be
installed.
KVM switching options
Computer port selection may be made by any of the following:
o Front panel push buttons on the switch
o Keyboard Hotkey – configurable by the user
Front panel push buttons with white/red LED indicators
Press the front push button to select the appropriate port/computer. During the switching process
a white LED behind the switch button will flash. The LED will remain on when switching is
completed and the connections are established.
Depending on the configuration, only the KVM ports (USB keyboard, mouse and monitor) or KVM
and USB 2.0 hub and/or Audio ports are switched. To learn more about these options, please
refer to the table on the next page.
The white port LEDs refer to the KVM section status, the red port LEDs refer to the USB hub
selection status and shows the port/computer currently selected.
Keyboard Hotkey Switching
The KVM switch may also be conveniently switched and configured using keyboard hotkeys. This
process is invoked by pressing a universal hotkey on the keyboard twice within 2 seconds. The
factory default setting for this universal hotkey is the SCROLL LOCK button. The KVM switch can
be reconfigured to use a different hotkey from the following list: NUM LOCK, or CAPS LOCK, or
F12 or Escape (ESC) key.
Press the universal hotkey twice to invoke the switching function – the KVM switch will confirm
this with a short beep signal. Depending on the next key you press you can select any of the
available switching or configuration functions of the KVM switch. Please refer to the following
table for the available options.

Troubleshooting
Please check that all monitor and USB cable connections are firmly connected to ensure
correct operation of the KVM switch.
No video displayed:
1. If the KVM Switch reacts to the universal hotkey with a beep signal, but no monitor picture is
displayed, please check if the currently selected computer is in sleep mode or powered down.
2. Please use high quality video cables as short as possible and for HDMI and DP not longer
than 2m. The KVM Switch should be the same video interface as the monitor (and the graphics
card). Using different interfaces and adapter cables may cause unpredictable incompatibilities,
especially for HDMI monitors using a DVI KVM Switch.
3. HDMI monitors on DVI KVM Switches: HDMI monitors provide EDID information to the
computer allowing the graphics card to output higher resolution and colour mode/depth signals
than supported by the DVI-D KVM Switch. The KVM Switch cannot support these signals and
will not show any picture unless the graphics card signal gets restricted to DVI-D compatible
signals, max. 1920x1200@60Hz RGB.
4. DP KVM Switch: When using highest resolutions like 4K @ 60Hz only short 1m high quality
DP cables can be used for reliable operation on powerful graphics cards. DP++ passive
protocol converters may be supported using max. 1m length monitor cables. Active protocol
converters and MST Hubs are not supported.
USB problems:
A computer boots but the keyboard or mouse or device doesn’t work:
a. DO NOT SWITCH PORTS until the USB driver installations are complete! Equally
do not press any keys on the keyboard or mouse whilst a selected computer is
booting up.
b. Connect the keyboard and mouse or device directly to the computer and check the
status of the installed drivers. Once drivers are installed the devices also should
work when connected to the KVM switch.

Team. Contact information can easily be found on the LINDY website www.lindy.com.
