Page 54 

The ADMIN user is also given the option to 

RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS

. This 

will clear all the computer and user names and set all parameters back to the factory 

defaults. To avoid activating this function by accident the administrator must confirm 

the reset instruction by pressing F8.  

 

See section 4.19 for details on using the 

SEND DATA TO RS232 PORT 

and 

READ 

DATA FROM RS232 PORT 

functions. These functions are only available to the 

Admin user.  

 

 

4.14 Querying the routing status 

 

It is sometimes useful to know which KVM consoles are connected to which 

computers and their connection modes (shared, exclusive or video only). For 

example, if the LINDY CPU Switch denies you access to a particular computer you 

may wish to know if another KVM console has exclusive use of this computer and 

consequently is preventing your access.  To query the routing status press F1 from 

the main on-screen menu and then select ROUTING STATUS. A routing status 

display similar to the one shown below will be displayed for 10 seconds. Press ESC 

to quit or wait for the routing status screen to disappear.

LINDY CPU Switch Dual MPs can be cascaded in a tree structure to support larger 

numbers of computers. Up to four cascade levels are supported and the number of 

cascade links between LINDY CPU Switches can be chosen by the user.  

 

The number of cascade links determines the number of users that may be accessing 

ports on the cascaded units simultaneously. The full rules that must be followed
