Lindy 32351, 32352 manual Resetting user port keyboards and mice

However it is sometimes useful to be able to connect to ports on cascaded units via a specific cascade cable (rather than the first available of a group) in order to check that the cabling is working as expected. To do this you can use a hotkey sequence similar to the example shown below.

For example to connect to port 14 on a LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior that is cascaded off port 1 of your first LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior. Although the following example selects a port with a four digit address (port 0114) you can type port addresses that are eight digits long to access computers that are on the forth cascade level (e.g. Port 01140203).

4.16 Resetting user port keyboards and mice

The LINDY CPU Switch gives you the facility to perform a complete power off reset of the keyboard and mouse that are connected to a selected user port. This can be useful if you wish to disconnect the keyboard or mouse and replace them with alternatives. Keyboards will enable themselves automatically if they are disconnected and then re-connected to the LINDY CPU Switch. Mice will not normally re-enable themselves after they have been disconnected and re-connected although they will do so automatically if the LINDY CPU Switch's channel has been changed whilst the mouse is disconnected.

Consequently you will normally need to perform a power-off reset of the user port if you have disconnected and re-connected a mouse. The power off reset function only affects the selected user port and does not affect any of the computer connections or any of the other user ports. To perform a power-off reset for a selected user port:

1) Press the USER key on the front panel of the LINDY CPU Switch to select the
