1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP. Your LINDY CPU Switch
Dual MP is a very high performance Keyboard, Video monitor and Mouse (KVM)
sharing device which supports a wide range of computer hardware and software
platforms. The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP supports multiple users and enables
each user to independently access the connected computers.
The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP is a multi-platform KVM switch that is designed for
controlling computers that have different styles of keyboard and mouse ports. Cables
are available to connect to PC PS/2 style ports (6-pin min-DIN connectors for
keyboard and mouse, often coloured purple and green), USB style ports (common on
many laptop and desktop PCs, Sun computers and Apple Mac computers) and Sun
style ports (8-pin min-DIN connector for keyboard and mouse used on older style
Sun computers). USB style keyboards and mice are available for all the different
styles of computer that may be controlled and so the LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP
supports USB devices to enable you to use your preferred style of keyboard and
mouse.
An On-Screen-Display (OSD) menu system is provided for easy computer selection
and control. This enables users to select computers by name or description without
having to remember the port that the computer is physically connected to. The OSD
menu system also provides a security structure that enables the system
administrator to allocate access rights to each user on a login basis.
