LINDY CPU Switch Dual Multi-Platform Installation and Use

Page 55

when configuring a cascade of LINDY CPU Switches are given in section 2.5.

Although it is theoretically possible to select computers on cascaded units by

pressing the hotkeys and then typing in the port address this would be highly

confusing for users and is not generally recommended. Consequently it is normally

advisable to use the on-screen menu to select computers on cascaded units.

However it is sometimes useful to be able to connect to ports on cascaded units via a

specific cascade cable (rather than the first available of a group) in order to check

that the cabling is working as expected. To do this you can use a hotkey sequence

similar to the example shown below.

For example to connect to port 14 on a LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP that is cascaded

off port 1 of your first LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP. Although the following example

selects a port with a four digit address (port 0114) you can type port addresses that

are eight digits long to access computers that are on the forth cascade level (e.g.

Port 01140203).
