Each computer name that you add to the on-screen menu has an associated port number that tells the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO where to find the computer. Port numbers for computers attached to a single LINDY Dual/Quad PRO are simply the port number that the computer is attached to. Port numbers for computers connected to cascaded LINDY Dual/Quad PRO’s are constructed by defining the port routing that is required to get from the user's KVM to the computer.

Figure 7 illustrates how port numbers are constructed and how the physical configuration of a cascaded system relates to entries in the on-screen menu. The illustrated configuration is an unlikely configuration in practice but has been chosen for explanation purposes. If you make multiple cascade links then they must be connected to the groups of ports defined in figure 8. These ports have associated group port numbers. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO uses this group port number to connect to the first available port in that group. For example, group port number 21 comprises of ports 1 and 2. If these ports are linked to a cascaded LINDY Dual/Quad PRO and users try to connect to computers that are attached to the cascaded LINDY Dual/Quad PRO, the system will allocate the cascade links to the first two users on a first come first served basis. Further users that try to connect to computers on the cascaded LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will get a message saying that no cascade links are available and they will not be able to connect to the cascaded LINDY Dual/Quad PRO until one of the previous users has finished with one of the cascade links.
