LINDY CPU Switch Dual Multi-Platform Installation and Use

Page 12

2. Installation

LINDY explains:

Flexible configuration

The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP has many ports for connection to computers,

keyboards, mice and monitors. There are no restrictions placed upon which ports are

connected to devices and you can leave any of the ports disconnected if you wish.

You do not need to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to each user port if you

do not wish to use all of these. You may perhaps decide to connect just a keyboard

and monitor or you may decide to connect to just one user port. All of these

configurations are supported. What's more, your devices do not all need to be of the

same type. You may wish to use a large high-resolution monitor with an extended

keyboard and a wheel mouse on one user port and a smaller monitor with a basic

mouse and keyboard on another. The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP intelligently

handles these mixtures of devices.

2.1 What you will need

For the computer connections you will need:

Cables to connect the LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP to each of your computer

keyboard, video and mouse ports.

There are three main types of cable available from LINDY that connect to PS/2, USB

or Sun systems. You may also need one or more cabling adapters if you have older

type 5-pin DIN keyboard connectors, 9-pin serial mouse connectors or 13W3 video

connectors. Cabling and adapter specifications and part numbers are given

appendix A. (You do not need to connect a mouse cable if you are not using the

mouse).

A suitable mouse driver for your computers. Supported types are:

General mouse drivers that are supplied with the operating system (PC, Sun, Mac

etc.)
