3.4Status display
The status display usually shows the currently selected port. If autoscan mode is selected, the segments will illuminate in sequence in a clockwise direction interspersed with a display of the currently selected channel. If LINDY CPU Switch has been locked, ‘P’ will be displayed until a valid password has been typed to unlock the unit. Data flow from the mouse or keyboard causes the dot to flash.
3.5Using the dual control ports (A and B) - OSD versions only
The LINDY CPU Switch is fitted with two control ports, A and B. Each control port has a keyboard, mouse and monitor connection. Either control port may be used to access the LINDY CPU Switch. Typically port A may be used for local access and port B for remote access (up to 20 metres away). The video picture is duplicated on both ports and the LINDY CPU Switch will accept keyboard and mouse data from one control port at a time. Whilst the other port is active, the <NUM LOCK>, <CAPS LOCK> and <SCROLL LOCK> keys on the inactive control port’s keyboard will flash indicating that the port is currently disabled. Once there has been no keyboard or mouse data on the active control port for the timeout period, the other keyboard can be used. Once activity is detected then this new port becomes the active port and the other port is disabled. The currently active port is indicated on the front panel. If neither the A or B lights are on then either control port may be used.
