LINDY Dual/Quad PRO Installation and Use Page 54
4.15 Using the dual access ports (1 and 3)
The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO 2 is fitted with one dual access port and the LINDY
Dual/Quad PRO 4 is fitted with two dual access ports. These dual access ports have
connectors that enable a local KVM (Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse) to be
attached and a connector that enables a remote LINDY Extender or LINDY Pro
Extender to be attached. Either the local KVM, connected directly to the LINDY
Dual/Quad PRO, or the remote KVM, connected to the LINDY extender, may be
used to access the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. The video picture is duplicated on both
the local and remote access points but the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will accept
keyboard and mouse data from only one KVM at a time. Whilst one of the KVM’s is
active, the num, caps and scroll lock keys on the inactive KVM's keyboard will flash
indicating that the KVM does not have control.
Once there has been no keyboard or mouse data from the active KVM for the
timeout period (see section 3.6.12 for instructions on how to set the timeout period),
the other KVM is allowed access. Once keyboard or mouse data activity is detected
from this new KVM it gains control and the other KVM is disabled.
4.16 Cascading LINDY Dual/Quad PRO’s
LINDY Dual/Quad PRO s can be cascaded in a tree structure to support larger
numbers of computers. Up to four cascade levels are supported and the number of
cascade links between LINDY Dual/Quad PRO’s can be chosen by the user. The
number of installed cascade links determines the number of users that may be
accessing ports on the cascaded units simultaneously. The full rules that must be
followed when configuring a cascade of LINDY Dual/Quad PRO’s are given in
section 2.5.
