working on the computer until they came back. Consequently the system administrator can disable all exclusive use so that all connections are shared.

3.6.6 AUTOMATIC LOGOUT

Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS

Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED

The LINDY CPU Switch enables you to restrict access to your computers on a login basis. If a user forgets to logout when they have finished accessing the LINDY CPU Switch then the user console may unintentionally be left with full access to all the computers. The LINDY CPU Switch may be set to automatically logout unattended user consoles when the screen saver kicks in. This reduces the risk of security problems by preventing user consoles remaining in a permanent “logged-in” state when there is no keyboard or mouse activity. The automatic logout feature is only enabled when the screen saver feature is active (i.e. not disabled).

3.6.7 MOUSE SWITCHING

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: ENABLED, DISABLED

Like most LINDY KVM switches, the LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior's channel may be switched using a three button mouse or IntelliMouse (see section 4.9). Pressing the central button or wheel button together with the left hand mouse button will cause the LINDY CPU Switch to switch to the next available computer. When mouse switching is enabled the central mouse button or wheel mouse button is allocated to control the LINDY CPU Switch and is not therefore available for use by computer applications. If you want to use the central mouse button within your applications you will need to disable mouse switching. The rotation action of an IntelliMouse wheel is not affected and is always available to the computer application.

3.6.8 SCREEN SAVER

Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Settings: DISABLED; 2, 5, 7, 10,15, 20 & 30 MINUTES

To avoid burning out the phosphor on CRT monitor screens, the LINDY CPU Switch can be set to blank the screen after no keyboard or mouse activity has been detected for a selected timeout period. If preferred, the user can blank the screen
