Use of PS/2 and RS232 style mice with the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO - All of the mouse connections from LINDY Dual/Quad PRO to PCs support either a PS/2 or an RS232 mouse. LINDY Dual/Quad PRO automatically converts from the PS/2 mouse commands to RS232 serial mouse commands. Serial mice types are selected by using an adapter as described in Appendix A. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will operate without a mouse connected if you do not wish to use one.

2.3 Connecting your devices
Ensure that the power is disconnected from the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO and all devices which are to be attached. Connect any local keyboards, monitors and mice to the user port connectors at the rear of the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO (see figure 2). The user ports are coloured white and the individual connectors are colour coded for your convenience. If you are connecting several KVM (Keyboard, Video monitor, Mouse) sets then you do not need to use the same brands or mix of devices on each user port.
User ports 1 and 3 are dual access ports and may have both a local KVM (connected directly) and a remote KVM (connected via and LINDY extender) attached at the same time. The local and remote KVM’s share the port on a timeout basis but only one KVM may be using the port at any one time. If you are not using all the local KVM connections it is preferable to connect the KVM’s to ports that are not shared with the LINDY so that these KVM’s have fully independent access to the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO.
Next connect each computer system unit in turn with the keyboard cable, mouse cable and video cable. LINDY
