4.8 Cascade query code

The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PCs use a special ‘query code’ to detect whether or not they are connected to another CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC. By default your CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC uses query code AD. CPU Switch Junior (another range of keyboard / mouse / video switches from LINDY Electronics) units with firmware versions less than 1.09 used query code EF. This was found to conflict with a small number of other (rare) devices that used the same query code so an alternative query code was provided to ensure compatibility. Either query code may be used but you should make sure that all cascaded CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC- PC and CPU Switch Junior units are set to use the same query code. If any of the cascaded CPU Switch Junior have firmware versions less than 1.09 then the cascade query code for all the CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PCs and CPU Switch Junior should be set to EF.

L7 – Cascade query code = AD (default)

L8 – Cascade query code = EF

4.9 Resolving slow mouse problems

Due to certain technical reasons some systems running particular combinations of operating system and mouse drivers are sensitive to small timing changes relating to mouse communications. The introduction of a switch like the CPU Switch Smart inevitably causes some timing changes and in rare cases interactions have been observed that causes the mouse to run very slowly. Certain HP Vectra computers running later versions of Windows NT with Logitech mouse drivers and Logitech mice have been observed to exhibit such interactions with older switches. One solution to this problem is to change the mouse driver.

The CPU Switch Smart SUN-MAC-PC is a high performance device that is carefully engineered to minimise such interactions and should not exhibit this characteristic. Nevertheless such interactions are unpredictable and so the CPU Switch Smart is
