4. Using the LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior

This section explains the general operation of the LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior. We recommend that you read this section before starting to use the product.

4.1 Rear panel special function switches

Before powering on the LINDY CPU Switch ensure that the two option switches on the rear are set to the OFF (up) position. Option switch 1 is reserved for future use and option switch 2 is used to enable firmware upgrades (see section 5).

4.2 Power supply connections and indicators

Plug the power adapter into the power inlet. The power indicator on the front of the LINDY CPU Switch (see figure 1) monitors the voltage that is being supplied to the power inlet. If the power indicator is illuminated then a healthy power adapter is connected.

4.3 USER display and key switch

The USER key selects the user port that is shown on the green USER display (see figure 1). Pressing the key will cause the green display to change to the next user port in numerical sequence. When the USER display is changed, the red COMPUTER display will also change to show the current connection status of the new user port. LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior models have 2 user ports.
