4.5Timeout setting for switching between the local and remote keyboard/mouse ports (A and B)

If you are controlling the LINDY CPU Switch from two locations then you will have connected keyboards, monitors and mice to the local and remote ports (A and B). The LINDY CPU Switch will accept keyboard and mouse data from either location and the video is duplicated on both monitors. Only one of the ports may be used at a time. The other port is automatically disabled although the video continues to be displayed. This port is re-enabled for keyboard and mouse data when there has been no activity from the currently active port for the switchover timeout period. This timeout period is selectable from 2 seconds to 10 minutes using the ‘S’ options in configure mode as follows:

4.6Mouse mode and mouse switching of channels

A three button PS/2 mouse can be used to switch channels on the LINDY CPU Switch by default. To switch to the next channel, the user simply holds down the central button or wheel button and presses the left hand button to change channel. If the user does not wish to take advantage of this feature, it can be disabled by selecting U2, U3 or U5. If the third button is being used to switch the LINDY CPU Switch then it is not available for use with PC software. Consequently in modes U1, U2 and U4 the LINDY CPU Switch reports to the PCs that a 2 button mouse is connected. If you wish to use the full function of a 3 button mouse or IntelliMouse for your PC software then you should select option U3 or U5.

The LINDY CPU Switch supports ‘Internet Mice’ that are compatible with the Microsoft IntelliMouse. These are fitted with a wheel or other scroll control and sometimes have additional buttons. Examples are:

Microsoft® IntelliMouse

Genius® NetMouse

Logitech® Pilot Mouse +

Genius® NetMouse Pro

Logitech® MouseMan+
