Kurzhandbuch, Einführung
FEATURES
Der LINDY CPU Switch SMART unterstützt Monitorauflösungen bis 1900x1440
bis 75Hz sowie DDC Monitorerkennung.
Der LINDY CPU Switch benötigt bei Kabellängen unter 5m kein Netzteil.
Werden größere Kabellängen benötigt, so sollte ein optional erhältliches Netzteil
verwendet werden; hiermit können in den meisten Fällen auch noch Kabellängen
bis 20m realisiert werden.
Der LINDY CPU Switch SMART unterstützt Standard-Tastaturen und PS/2 Mäuse
mit und ohne Rädchen wie z. B. die LINDY Dual Wheel Mause, LINDY Dual
Wheel Maus Wireless, Microsoft IntelliMouse u.a. . Über einen separat
erhältlichen RS-232 Mausadapter (LINDY Artikelnummer 70058) unterstützt er
auch serielle Mausanschlüsse am PC (Sub-D 25Pol Anschluss).
Der LINDY CPU Switch kann mit einer optional erhältlichen Kabel-
Fernbedienung umgeschaltet werden.
Der LINDY CPU Switch emuliert für alle angeschlossenen Rechner permanent
Monitor, Maus und Tastatur. Dies sorgt dafür, dass zwischen den
angeschlossenen Rechnern beliebig oft hin und her geschaltet werden kann,
ohne dass die Rechner das Maus- bzw. Tastatursignal verlieren und neu
gebootet werden müssen.
Der LINDY CPU Switch SMART ver fügt über einen Passwortschutz gegen
ungewollten Zugriff sowie über einen Bildschi rmschoner – siehe ggf.
ausführliches Handbuch.
Zwischen den angeschlossenen Computern kann entweder per Tastatur-Hotkey,
durch Drücken der Umschalttaste auf der Frontblende oder mit einer 3-Tasten-
Maus umgeschaltet werden.
Um einen Computer per Tastatur-Hotkey auszuwählen werden die <Strg> und
<ALT> Tasten zusammen gedrückt und dann zusätzlich die erforderliche Port-
Taste gedrückt (z.B. 1 oder 2 beim 2 Port Switch bzw. 1, 2, 3 oder 4 beim 4 Port
Switch). Diese Hotkeys können bei Bedarf auch auf andere Tastenkombinationen
umgestellt werden.
Zur Auswahl eines Computers mit der 3-Tasten-Maus werden gleichzeitig erst die
mittlere und dann zusätzlich die linke oder rechte Maustaste kurz gedrückt.
