number to quickly select a chosen computer without activating the on-screen menu.
See section 4.8 for full details on using keyboard hotkeys to control the LINDY
Dual/Quad PRO. We do not normally recommend that you disable the hotkeys but if
you choose to do this then you will need to access the on-screen menu using the
LINDY Dual/Quad PRO's front panel controls.
3.6.4 KEYPAD CONTROLS
Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS
Settings: ENABLED, DISABLED
The key controls on the front of the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO may be disabled so that
it is only possible to select the special channels "o" and "0" (the on-screen menu
and the non-existent channel zero).
3.6.5 EXCLUSIVE USE
Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS
Settings: ALLOWED, DISABLED
In normal operation, the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will allow two or more users to
share access to a computer. In this mode, the computer's video picture will be
displayed on all the user's monitors but only one user may have active control of the
computer's keyboard and mouse at any one time. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO
detects an active user by looking for keyboard and mouse data. A user becomes
inactive if no keyboard or mouse data has been received by the LINDY Dual/Quad
PRO for a specified timeout period. Whilst one user is active all the other users that
are connected to the same computer will see a "video only" message displayed on
their screen.
There may be situations where particular users want to be able to control and view
their computers in private with exclusive use. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO has the
facility to allow users to select exclusive use of computers but this facility should be
used with care. When exclusive use is requested the video from the selected
computer is only available to the user with exclusive access. Users that have
selected exclusive access are never timed out by the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO and so
all other users are effectively "locked out" until the exclusive user switches to
another computer or logs out. This could potentially be very irritating if a user has
selected exclusive use and has then left their desk without logging out. This would
prevent other users from working on the computer until they came back.
