Operation

User arbitration and keyboard indicators

During operation, all of the connected video monitors continuously receive the output from the host system. Control of the host system is arbitrated by the LINDY Console Switch on a first come, first served basis. In the idle state, control is available to all users and their keyboard indicators will show the current Num Lock, etc. conditions of the host system.

At the moment that a key is pressed or a mouse is moved, the keyboards and mice of the other users are temporarily locked-out (the video images remain). The keyboard indicators of the locked-out users then begin to flash to confirm their status:

After two seconds of inactivity from the user currently in control, the LINDY Console Switch returns to its idle condition and the re-instates the keyboard indicators of the locked-out users.

LINDY Console Switch indicators
