1. Introduction
The LINDY USB 2.0 AutoSwitch makes it possible to share USB devices between several USB computers. The AutoSwitch is designed to operate with computers, which have a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 interface. The USB 2.0 AutoSwitch also has the advantage of being backwards compatible with USB 1.1 devices.
You may connect USB 2.0 or 1.1 devices directly to the USB 2.0 AutoSwitch; the connection of a suitable USB hub will allow you to increase the number of connected devices. Please note that only one computer may access the connected USB devices at any time!
Switching between the computers takes place by depressing the push button on the AutoSwitch or by PS/2 keyboard hotkey (see operation paragrapth).
Note that during an active data transfer the attached computer must not be changed by depressing the push button or hotkey!
Failure to do so may cause the loss of data!
