Introduction
Thank you for choosing the LINDY KVM switch C5 range. This compact unit has been
created to allow a single operator to take full control of many computer systems.
Like the other models within the highly successful LINDY switch KVM range, this
unit takes full advantage of category 5, 5e or 6 structured cabling to provide flexible
installation and configuration. Every connected computer can be up to 10m (32 feet)
from the SC5, linked by a standard CATx cable and the ingenious CAM (Computer
Access Module).
The SC5 directly supports sixteen computers, however, this number can be increased
at any time thanks to the ability to connect other SC5 units in cascade to provide a
much larger network of controlled computers. The SC5 provides full enterprise level
security to restrict access to authorised personnel.
The user console can be either connected directly to the SC5 unit or placed up to
300m (980 feet) away using a User Station extender and, once again, standard
CATx cabling. In addition to providing the usual keyboard, video and mouse signals,
the SC5 also provides audio output for full feedback where necessary.
Many computers
SC5 units can directly support 16 computer
systems. Multiple SC5 units can also be
cascaded to support a maximum of 256
computers.
Each system is linked using a Computer
Access Module (CAM) and category 5, 5e or
6 cabling to a maximum distance of 10m
(32 ft) from the SC5 unit.
Local user
One user can
be connected
directly to the
SC5.
Remote user
A remote user can be linked,
via a User Station extender
and category 5, 5e or 6
cabling, to a maximum
distance of 300m (980 ft).
CAM formats
The CAMs are available in
different formats to support all
common types of systems, which
can easily be mixed within a
multi-format configuration.

Dual users
When both a local and a remote
user are connected, both consoles
will see the same output, however,
only one will be able to take
control at any one time. Control is
automatically relinquished by the
current user two seconds after the
last input action, whereupon either
user can gain control. The control
status is signified by the keyboard
indicators at each console.
