Lindy CPU SWITCH - Manual (Page 37)

LINDY ELECTRONICS LTD Installation & Use – English Guide Page 37
PROBLEM ACTION
Mouse causes channel to
change.
Some cheaper mice are not fully compatible with the LINDY
CPU Switch and can lose data causing the channel to be
changed (if mouse switching of channels is enabled). If you
experience this problem then change the mouse and use a
Microsoft, Logitech, IBM, Compaq or Hewlett-Packard type.
Ensure that you are using a Microsoft compatible mouse
driver on your PC. Some other manufacturers’ drivers may
switch the mouse to use a proprietary mouse data format not
supported by the LINDY CPU Switch. If you have unplugged
and re-connected a mouse to the LINDY CPU Switch then
ensure that you reset it using the mouse reset function (see
section 3.3).
Mouse jumps around the screen
after disconnecting the mouse
cable or powering down the
LINDY CPU Switch.
If you have disconnected and re-connected a CPU mouse
cable or you have powered down the LINDY CPU Switch
then the mouse data format may be out of synchronisation
with that required by the PC (PS/2 or Intellimouse). Try the
‘restore Intellimouse’ function (F6) to resolve the problem or
re-power the CPU.
LINDY CPU Switch does not
power on correctly (display is
blank or stuck after power on).
Switch the LINDY CPU Switch off and leave for 10 seconds.
Re-power the LINDY CPU Switch, preferably from a switch
on a wall socket rather then by plugging in the connector to
the rear panel of the LINDY CPU Switch. Try switching off all
the connected CPUs and switching on the LINDY CPU
Switch first. If this action does not resolve the problem then
there is a fault with the LINDY CPU Switch.
Mouse consistently fails to boot
when using a Compaq integrated
keyboard / mouse model
MX11800 with the LINDY CPU
Switch, Windows NT 4.0 and a
PS/2 connection to some types
of PCs.
There are three possible solutions to this problem:
• Use a different mouse.
• Connect the LINDY CPU Switch mouse connection to a
serial port on the NT 4.0 unit rather than the PS/2 port.
• Select channel 0 or a port that is not connected to an NT
4.0 box whilst NT is booting. Use the system normally
once the logon screen appears.
