Lindy Switch manual Mouse pointers, Configure, For the VNC viewer, the local cursor is a dot

Mouse pointers

Both viewers provide a double mouse cursor to help overcome any delays caused by slow connections. When you move your mouse you will see two mouse cursors, a local one that responds immediately to your movements and a second, slower moving, cursor that represents the current mouse position at the host.

For the browser viewer, the local cursor is a typical arrow:

Remote host cursor

For the VNC viewer, the local cursor is a dot:

Additionally, for fast network connections, the VNC viewer also provides a single mouse mode. See Controls - Single Mouse for details.

Single local cursor

Host selection

The Hosts button on the menu bar provides the quickest and most efficient way to switch between host computers. This is because the button is close at hand, but also because the screen calibration details for each host are reused when this method of switching is used. The alternative is to use KVM switch hotkey combinations or the KVM switch on screen display.

Note: The Hosts button is displayed only when the switching details for two or more computers have been declared within the configuration section by the admin user.

To select a host

1Click the Hosts button to display a list of computers.

2Click the required computer name to view and control it.

See Appendix 5 - Host configuration for details about programming new hosts into the LINDY KVM IP (‘admin’ user status required).

Configure

This option is displayed only when you are logged on as the ‘admin’ user. When selected it provides access to a wide range of LINDY KVM IP settings.

See Appendix 5 - Remote configuration menus for more details.
