Overview
The LINDY CPU Switch is ideally suited for the following:
KVM access for keyboard, video (monitor), mouse and stereo audio (speaker + microphone).
Simultaneous access from up to 4 independent consoles / users for up to 8 PCs.
The CPU Switches are not cascadable with each other or themselves. If you need more than 8
PCs connected you should use non-multi-user CPU Switches in the upper cascade near the
consoles. At the moment LINDY is preparing the introduction of new audio enabled CPU
Switches: Please read the latest news at www.lindy.co.uk, in the LINDY catalogues or the LINDY
newsletters.
The installation of the system is quick and simple. You only need to install the units and connection
cables. There is NO configuration software, other software, jumper settings or anything to be done. This
is a pure hardware concept that therefore causes no software incompatibles. The LINDY CPU Switch
operates with almost any hardware platform as long as it complies with PC compatible standards.
The LINDY CPU Switch MultiMedia offers you the most efficient and ergonomic solution to access
multiple servers from multiple consoles / users independently at the same time. No more running
between different server enclosures, just operate all machines from your regular desk
The switching between the connected PCs / servers is easily done by selecting the PCs from
the On-Screen-Display (OSD) of the CPU Switch. All PCs are displayed arranged together with
their given name and status of operation. If another user operates a particular PC, then the
OSD will show a simple message to inform you. An extended Auto-Scan mode makes it
possible to view all connected PCs, one after the other by a definable dwell time.
