3.6.12 USER TIMEOUT
Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Settings: 2, 5, 10, 30 SECONDS; 1, 5, 10 MINUTES
When two users are connected to the same computer only one can have access at
any one time. When no keyboard or mouse data has been received from the active
user port for the user timeout period the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will allow other
users to access the computer. The new port then becomes the active port until it too
times out. To avoid confusion between users it is desirable to set the timeout period
to be sufficiently long so that user's work is not needlessly interrupted by other users
and sufficiently short to ensure good overall system efficiency. The user timeout
value also controls the timeout between the local and remote access points on user
ports 1 and 3.
3.6.13 RS232 Mouse Type
Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Settings: INTELLIMOUSE, 2 BUTTON, 3 BUTTON
These setting control the type of RS232 mouse that the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO
reports to computers. All the necessary conversions are dealt with automatically with
the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. The IntelliMouse setting sends four byte mouse reports
to the computers and is therefore very slightly more sluggish than the others that
send three byte mouse reports. RS232 mice are almost always more sluggish than
PS/2 types because the data rate is much slower.
