Lindy 32 342, 32 341 manual Installation and Use Lindy CPU Switch USB

USB cable has different connectors on each end. This ensures that it connects to the correct ports. The type A connector (rectangular) plugs into the computer and the type B connector (square) plugs into the LINDY CPU Switch USB. USB cables should be no longer than 5 metres but this distance may be extended with the use of USB hubs. You should use tri-coax video cables to achieve a good video picture (the type of thick cable that you see on computer monitor connections). Lower quality ‘data’ cables will function correctly but will generally give relatively poor video pictures and are only suitable for screen resolutions of 640 x 480. Any unused computer connections can be left unconnected.

If you are using an Apple Macintosh computer and you wish to use the on/off key function on the keyboard then you must connect the keyboard directly to the LINDY CPU Switch USB’s peripheral port A. If you are using this on/off key function then you will also not be able to use an additional USB hub to extend the cable run between the computer and the LINDY CPU Switch USB. This is because the Macintosh on/off key function is not supported through a USB hub.
