The ADMIN user is also given the option to RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS . This
will clear all the computer and user names and set all parameters back to the factory
defaults. To avoid activating this function by accident the administrator must confirm
the reset instruction by pressing F8.
See section 4.19 for details on using the SEND DATA TO RS232 PORT and READ
DATA FROM RS232 PORT functions. These functions are only available to the
Admin user.
4.14 Querying the routing status
It is sometimes useful to know which KVM consoles are connected to which
computers and their connection modes (shared, exclusive or video only). For
example, if the LINDY CPU Switch denies you access to a particular computer you
may wish to know if another KVM console has exclusive use of this computer and
consequently is preventing your access. To query the routing status press F1 from
the main on-screen menu and then select ROUTING STATUS. A routing status
display similar to the one shown below will be displayed for 10 seconds. Press ESC
to quit or wait for the routing status screen to disappear.

ports on the cascaded units simultaneously. The full rules that must be followed
