on the computer until they came back. Consequently the system administrator can

disable all exclusive use so that all connections are shared.

3.6.6 AUTOMATIC LOGOUT

Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS

Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED

The LINDY CPU Switch enables you to restrict access to your computers on a login

basis. If a user forgets to logout when they have finished accessing the LINDY CPU

Switch then the user console may unintentionally be left with full access to all the

computers. The LINDY CPU Switch may be set to automatically logout unattended

user consoles when the screen saver kicks in. This reduces the risk of security

problems by preventing user consoles remaining in a permanent “logged-in” state

when there is no keyboard or mouse activity. The automatic logout feature is only

enabled when the screen saver feature is active (i.e. not disabled).

3.6.7 KEYBOARD COUNTRY and DEFAULT COUNTRY

Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS

Settings: AUTOMATIC, MANUAL, DISABLED

Some computers query the keyboard to find out its country code and key layout.

These computers use this information to configure the way that they interpret the

keyboard data coming from the keyboard and so it is important for the correct country

information to be supplied. Not all keyboards report country information and two

different styles of keyboard may be connected to the LINDY CPU Switch.

Consequently in AUTOMATIC mode the LINDY CPU Switch will attempt to query

both the keyboards that are attached to try and find a country code (user port 1 is

tested first). If a country code is not found then the LINDY CPU Switch will use the

DEFAULT COUNTRY code specified by the user. In MANUAL mode, the connected

keyboards are not queried for country information and instead the DEFAULT

COUNTRY value is reported to all computers that request country information. In

DISABLED mode no country information is supplied to computers requesting country

information.
