Operating the CPU Switch MultiMedia
Hot-Plugging
LINDY CPU Switch MultiMedia supports
If cables (or devices) are removed from the installation they can only be reattached at the same position/port. The type of mouse cannot be changed. The mouse should be reattached before the keyboard gets reattached. After the cables and unit is reattached, a RESET has to be performed via the front side RESET switch at the CPU Switch. But also just switching between different ports may cause the devices to function properly again.
Powering down and restarting
If it is necessary to switch off single CPU switches or the complete installation please follow the following steps:
First power down all PCs or downstream cascaded CPU switches and PCs connected to the CPU switch you want to power down. Then power down the CPU Switch itself.
Please note:
Also the mains cables of all PCs that support the ‘Keyboard Power On’ function have to be unplugged. Alternatively all keyboard and mouse cables may be unplugged. Otherwise the CPU Switch will still be powered on via the PCs and their keyboard and mouse connections.
Switch off the CPU Switch or unplug the power supply from the mains. Wait for approximately 10 seconds until you power the units on again.
When powering on follow the order mentioned above in the order starting from the consoles going down, stage by stage until the PCs.
PC / Port selection: OSD (On-Screen-Display)
All PCs connected to the CPU Switch can be easily selected by OSD.
The OSD is used to display and select all connected PCs and their status of operation clearly.
Every attached PC can easily be given and identified by a user selectable name.
The port selection can be done by moving the cursor up and down. Alternatively you can use the mouse cursor, highlight and click the selected choices in the OSD.
