6.2 Logging access activity
By connecting the LINDY CPU Switch’s serial port to a computer, a time stamped log
of the LINDY CPU Switch’s activity can be generated. This is useful for applications
where it is necessary to keep track of which users have accessed which computers.
A simple data logging program may be downloaded from the LINDY website
(LYLOG.EXE). This enables the activity log to be saved to a file or printed to a
printer. This logging program uses the Excel-compatible file LYDATA.CSV (that may
be downloaded from the LINDY CPU Switch — see section 4.19) to cross reference
the port and user information to computer and user names in order to generate an
informative activity log.
To make use of the activity logging features:
1.
Download the program LYLOG.EXE from the downloads section of the LINDY
website (www.lindy.com).
2.
Follow the instructions in section 4.19 to create the Excel compatible file
LYDATA.CSV that contains a list of user and computer names and port numbers.
3.
Copy the LYDATA.CSV file into the same directory as the LYLOG.EXE file.
4.
Run the LYLOG file using the following command format:
LYLOG {activity_log_destination} {com_port}
