3.6 Mouse control (model 32 341 only)
The LINDY CPU Switch USB’s channels may be changed using a three button mouse or IntelliMouse. In order to switch to the next channel simply hold down the central mouse button or wheel button and click on the left hand mouse button. The channel will then change to the next channel. The next channel may be the next active channel or the next channel in numerical sequence depending on the setting of option switch 8 (see section 2.4.3).
3.7 Autoscan mode
Autoscan mode may be selected by holding the front panel key down for 5 seconds or by using the keyboard hotkeys. When autoscan mode has been activated the front panel display will alternately show a rotating segment and the currently selected channel. The video from each computer will be displayed for the time period selected by option switch 7 (either 2 seconds or 5 seconds). During autoscan all the USB peripherals remain disconnected and only the video signals are switched through. Depending upon the position of option switch 8, the LINDY CPU Switch USB will
Many modern monitors are fitted with automatic power save relays and will switch off after a few seconds if connected to an inactive PC. If you are using such a monitor you must not scan inactive ports. Constant switching on and off of your monitor’s relay will eventually damage your monitor.
3.8 The optional remote controller
An optional remote controller is available which replicates the front panel key and display, but can be located remotely from the LINDY CPU Switch USB. The remote controller plugs into the options port on the back of the LINDY CPU Switch USB (see figures 1 and 2). This remote controller is particularly useful in applications where the LINDY CPU Switch USB is located away from the user’s desktop. The remote controller can be conveniently attached to your keyboard with a couple of Velcro strips to give instant channel information and key control. The key and display on the remote controller perform exactly the same function as the key and display on the front panel of the LINDY CPU Switch USB. The remote controller is supplied with a 3 metre cable but this may be extended if necessary to 20 metres.
