4.5 Activity indicators

The LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior has a front panel activity indicator for each user port (see figure 1). The indicator will flash when keyboard or mouse data is received by the LINDY CPU Switch. These indicators provide a useful confirmation that the keyboards and mice connected to the LINDY CPU Switch are functioning normally.

4.6 Selecting a computer using the front panel controls

To select a computer using the front panel controls, press the USER key until the green USER display shows the user port number that your keyboard and mouse are connected to. Then press the COMPUTER key until the red COMPUTER display shows the computer that you wish to connect to. Pressing the computer key will cause the computer channel to change to the next available port. If the password security system has not been enabled then this will be the next highest channel number in the sequence shown below. If password security has been enabled then you will only be able to select the computer ports that you have access to. If the front panel controls have been disabled by the administrator then you will only be able to select the special channels 'o' and '0' (the on-screen menu / login screen or non- existent channel zero).
