1. Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY CPU IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE. This device allows  
operators to monitor and access their computers from remote locations. The IP ACCESS  
SWITCH LITE connects to the internet, intranet, LAN or WAN using standard CAT5 or higher  
cable, then uses a KVM cable to connect a local KVM switch or server.  
The IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE combines convenient digital remote KVM access and control  
with integrated system management. It captures, digitizes and compresses the video signal and  
transmits it alongside the keyboard and mouse signals, to and from a remote computer. The IP  
ACCESS SWITCH LITE provides a non-intrusive solution for remote access and control.  
Remote access and control software runs on its embedded processors only – so there is no  
interference with server operation, or impact on network performance.  
The IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE supports PS/2 keyboard/mouse and 15-way VGA type monitor  
connections. It automatically detects the video mode of the console and allows manual fine  
tuning for improved video quality.  
The IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE also features remote mass storage support – the unit connects  
via a USB connection to the computer and allows virtual storage devices to be setup on the host  
and accessed from the client.
