Creating entries for computers connected to cascaded LINDY CPU Switches

You can cascade LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior units using one or two KVM links. Section 2.5 explains the rules that you must follow when installing a LINDY CPU Switch cascade. The number of cascade links that you install determines the number of simultaneous users that can access computers on the cascaded LINDY CPU Switches. Ideally if you are cascading LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior units then you should use two cascade links as this will cause no blocking and will allow both users simultaneous access to all computers.

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

Figure 5 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 6. These ports have associated group port numbers. The LINDY CPU Switch 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 CPU Switch and users try to connect to computers that are attached to the cascaded LINDY CPU Switch, the system will allocate the cascade links to the first two users on a first come first served basis.
