Introduction


Thank you for purchasing the LINDY KVM Extender SMART. The KVM Extender SMART allows
you to control your PC, server or KVM switch from a keyboard, mouse and monitor at distances
of up to approximately 150 metres (500 feet) away using low cost CAT5 or higher cable.

The KVM Extender SMART consists of a Transmitter (Local) unit and a Receiver (Remote) unit.
The Transmitter connects to a computer or KVM switch. The Receiver unit is located at a
remote location and connects to a keyboard, monitor and mouse console. The KVM Extender
SMART converts the PS/2 and VGA signals into a signal that can be transmitted over
inexpensive CAT5 Ethernet cable.

The KVM Extender SMART is ideal for network managers and system administrators – a
workstation can be connected to the Receiver unit allowing the operator to work on his
computer or remotely on the KVM switch. Additionally, a local console can be connected to the
Transmitter unit for direct access to the KVM switch. Both local and remote consoles can
access the servers connected to the KVM switch simultaneously, governed by a short timeout.
