connected computers. Failure to switch the LINDY CPU Switch Smart and computers on in the correct order can lead to the mouse and/or keyboard not being recognised by the computers when they are switched on.
2.4‘Interface powered’ operation without the optional power adapter
The LINDY CPU Switch Smart draws its power from the connected computers via the keyboard cables. A single keyboard connection is normally sufficient to power the LINDY CPU Switch Smart provided that the cable is no longer than 5 metres. If more than one computer is connected then the power will be intelligently drawn from all computers. Cables longer than 5 metres may be used provided that the LINDY CPU Switch Smart is already powered by another connected computer or the optional power adapter. If you are cascading the LINDY CPU Switch Smart to another LINDY CPU Switch Smart then a power adapter must be connected to all LINDY CPU Switch Smarts.

LINDY CPU Switch Smart emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse, IntelliMouse Explorer and PS/2 mice, so ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.
