Note: It is technically possible to connect your PS/2-style keyboard, PS/2-style mouse and monitor directly to the cable. However, you would first need to purchase separate gender changers for the PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors (LINDY No. 70342) and possibly one also for the video connector (LINDY No. 70094). To connect the USB converter cable 1. If possible, switch off your computer(s) and KVM switch. 2. At the end of the cable that has three plugs, connect the keyboard, mouse, and video plugs to the relevant sockets on your KVM switch. 3. At the other end of the converter cable with two plugs, connect the video and USB plugs to the relevant sockets on your computer. 4. Switch on your computer(s) and KVM switch, and operate in the usual manner. Note: If you are connecting to a Sun computer then it may be necessary to report a keyboard country code to the system before correct operation can occur. Please refer to the section ‘Software upgrades and keyboard emulations’ for more information on downloading the necessary files. Your USB converter cable emulates the presence of a keyboard and mouse (via the USB connector) to the computer at all times. This means that there will be no delay in response when switching to this channel. Multi-PlatformKVMConverterCableInstallationandUsePage2 English Manual Keyboard emulations and software upgrades The internal software of the LINDY USB converter cable can be upgraded to fulfil two main functions. • Utilize the latest features and functionality • Emulate particular styles of USB keyboards so that extra keys may be supported. Keyboard styles supported include the Microsoft ® Office keyboard, the Microsoft ® Natural Pro keyboard and Sun ® workstation keyboard. Additionally for Sun ® systems, the converter cable can be made to declare a country code. IMPORTANT FOR SUN USERS The internal software of the cable “as supplied” does NOT enable the advanced PS/2 to SUN keyboard mapping, for the special SUN keys, which are not available on a PC keyboard. The firmware default setup is optimized for use with PCs, servers, notebooks and Mac computers. To access the advanced SUN key press equivalents and to change or set SUN keyboard country code reporting you must flash the firmware of the converter cable. However this is not necessary if you are using the cable with a LINDY CPU Switch Dual Multi Platform. This guide covers all of the steps needed to perform such changes, which are arranged into four main stages: • Stage one Download upgrade files from the LINDY website. • Stage two Create a startup diskette. • Stage three Copy the files and edit the control file. • Stage four Reconnect the USB converter cable and reboot. The necessary upgrade and keyboard files will be made available within the downloads section of the LINDY website -Full instructions for performing an upgrade/keyboard emulation are included with the files from the website.

You will need to decompress the file you have just downloaded to a suitable location on your computer. Depending on the chosen option, there will be a collection of suitable files. As a minimum, there should be the following files: • AUTOEXEC.BAT – instructs the computer to run the driver update and firmware upgrade programs. • PS2USB.EXE – this is the upgrade program that causes upgrade data to be sent to the USB converter cable from your PC. • A keyboard definition file that has the extension “.S19“, such as: “STANxxx.S19“. Where xxx is the upgrade version number. Stage two – create a startup diskette For this stage you will need a 3.” floppy ...
