LINDY Dual/Quad PRO

Installation and Use

Page 55

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 Dual/Quad PRO 4 that is cascaded

off port 1 of your first LINDY Dual/Quad PRO . 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).

4.17 Resetting user port keyboards and mice

The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO gives you the facility to perform a complete power off

reset of the keyboard and mouse that are connected to a selected user port. This

can be useful if you wish to disconnect the keyboard or mouse and replace them

with alternatives. Keyboards will enable themselves automatically if they are

disconnected and then re-connected to the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. Mice will not

normally re-enable themselves after they have been disconnected and re-connected

although they will do so automatically if the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO's channel has

been changed whilst the mouse is disconnected.

Consequently you will normally need to perform a power-off reset of the user port if

you have disconnected and re-connected a mouse. The power off reset function

only affects the selected user port and does not affect any of the computer

connections or any of the other user ports.
