LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior Installation and Use Page 15
2.4 Configuring your PCs
Configure your PC in the same way that you would if your keyboard, mouse and
monitor were all connected directly to your PC, but bearing in mind the following
point:
LINDY CPU Switch emulates Microsoft compatible serial, IntelliMouse and PS/2
mice, so ensure that your PC software is configured for a Microsoft mouse of the
correct type. Refer to the list of supported drivers in section 2.1.
2.5 Structuring your LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior installation
A single LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior 16 PORT may be used to manage and
control up to 16 computers (see figure 3). For larger numbers of computers, Dual
Junior units may be cascaded in a tree structure to form a video switching network
(see figure 4). The LINDY CPU Switch unit at the top of this tree structure is
normally used to control all the cascaded LINDY CPU Switches although other
configurations are possible.
The LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior is fitted with an intelligent communication
system that enables it to detect and communicate with other LINDY CPU Switches
so that it is able to positively verify that all the cascaded LINDY CPU Switches have
correctly responded to a switching request from the user. The LINDY CPU Switches
communicate with each other via the keyboard cables.
LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior may be cascaded in a very flexible manner. Either 1
or 2 links may be made between cascaded LINDY CPU Switches. The number of
independent users supported by the system is determined by the number of
cascade links that have been installed. If two cascade links are made then two users
have simultaneous access to ports on the cascaded LINDY CPU Switches. The
LINDY CPU Switch intelligently manages the cascade links and allocates them on a
first come first served basis rather like a telephone network.
LINDY CPU Switch Dual Junior may also be cascaded to single user LINDY CPU
Switch OSD products with the restriction that the LINDY CPU Switch OSD units
must be on the last layer of the tree and that no further units are cascaded off these.
