1. Introduction 

 

 

Thank you for purchasing the LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP. Your LINDY CPU Switch 

Dual MP is a very high performance Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse (KVM) 

sharing device which supports a wide range of computer hardware and software 

platforms. The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP supports multiple users and enables 

each user to independently access the connected computers. 

 

The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP is a multi-platform KVM switch that is designed for 

controlling computers that have different styles of keyboard and mouse ports. Cables 

are available to connect to PC PS/2 style ports (6-pin min-DIN connectors for 

keyboard and mouse, often coloured purple and green), USB style ports (common on 

many laptop and desktop PCs, Sun computers and Apple Mac computers) and Sun 

style ports (8-pin min-DIN connector for keyboard and mouse used on older style 

Sun computers). USB style keyboards and mice are available for all the different 

styles of computer that may be controlled and so the LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP 

supports USB devices to enable you to use your preferred style of keyboard and 

mouse. 

 

An On-Screen-Display (OSD) menu system is provided for easy computer selection 

and control. This enables users to select computers by name or description without 

having to remember the port that the computer is physically connected to. The OSD 

menu system also provides a security structure that enables the system 

administrator to allocate access rights to each user on a login basis.
