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.
