Installation and Use
Page 15
Use of PS/2 and RS232 style mice with the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO -
All of the
mouse connections from LINDY Dual/Quad PRO to PCs support either a PS/2 or an
RS232 mouse. LINDY Dual/Quad PRO automatically converts from the PS/2 mouse
commands to RS232 serial mouse commands. Serial mice types are selected by
using an adapter as described in Appendix A. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will
operate without a mouse connected if you do not wish to use one.
2.2 Mounting the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO
The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO has been designed to be used either on a desktop or
mounted in a 19 inch rack. If the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO is to be used on a desktop
then you will need to stick the supplied self-adhesive rubber feet to the underside of
the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. If the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO is to be mounted in a 19
inch rack then you will need to fit the rack mounting brackets to the side of the
LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. Do this using the brackets and screws provided.
2.3 Connecting your devices
Ensure that the power is disconnected from the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO and all
devices which are to be attached. Connect any local keyboards, monitors and mice
to the user port connectors at the rear of the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO (see figure 2).
The user ports are coloured white and the individual connectors are colour coded
for your convenience. If you are connecting several KVM (Keyboard, Video monitor,
Mouse) sets then you do not need to use the same brands or mix of devices on each
user port.
User ports 1 and 3 are dual access ports and may have both a local KVM
(connected directly) and a remote KVM (connected via and LINDY extender)
attached at the same time. The local and remote KVM’s share the port on a timeout
basis but only one KVM may be using the port at any one time. If you are not using
all the local KVM connections it is preferable to connect the KVM’s to ports that are
not shared with the LINDY so that these KVM’s have fully independent access to the
LINDY Dual/Quad PRO.
Next connect each computer system unit in turn with the keyboard cable, mouse
cable and video cable. LINDY 3-in-1 keyboard/video/mouse cables are
recommended for maximum convenience and video quality. Remember that the
video quality is maximised if the cables are kept as short as possible. Where
