4.4 COMPUTER display and key switch

The COMPUTER key selects the computer port that is to be connected to the user port that is currently displayed on the green USER display (see figure 1). Pressing the key will cause the red COMPUTER display to change to the next available computer port in numerical sequence. The next available computer port is defined by the way that the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO is configured.

There are two special computer ports that may be selected using the COMPUTER key switch. These are the on-screen menu port 'o' and the non-existent channel zero '0'. Selecting the on-screen menu port will cause the on-screen menu or the login menu to be displayed. Selecting channel zero will cause the video to be disabled and all keyboard and mouse activity to have no effect upon any of the connected computers. These channels are provided as convenient places to 'park' user ports that are not currently in operation.
