Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 2 Port KVM Switch Pro is designed for professionals who need to control two DisplayPort 1.2 computers from a single set of peripherals. Its key benefit is enabling independent switching of USB devices and audio, allowing for simultaneous tasks like printing from one PC while gaming on another. A potential caveat is the reliance on DisplayPort connectivity for video.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on the monitor

Ensure DisplayPort cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and the computers. Verify that the monitor is set to the correct input source. Confirm the KVM switch is powered on.

Keyboard or mouse not functioning correctly

Check the USB connections for the keyboard and mouse. Try reconnecting them. If using specialized gaming keyboards/mice, ensure they are compatible with the True Transparent USB feature.

USB devices not recognized or switching properly

Disconnect and reconnect the USB device. Ensure the device is connected to one of the KVM's USB 2.0 hub ports. Test the USB device directly connected to a computer to rule out device failure.

Audio issues (no sound or poor quality)

Verify that audio cables are properly connected to the KVM switch and your speakers/microphone. Ensure the correct audio output/input device is selected in your computer's sound settings.

Computer not detected by the KVM

Restart both computers. Check the USB connection between the computer and the KVM switch, as this is often used for device detection.
