LINDY Dual/Quad PRO Installation and Use Page 13
2. Installation
LINDY explains:
Flexible configuration
The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO has many ports for connection to computers,
keyboards, mice, monitors and LINDY Link extenders. 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
Dual/Quad PRO intelligently handles these mixtures of devices.
2.1 What you will need
For the computer connections you will need:
Cables to connect the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO to each of your computer
keyboard, video and mouse ports. Cable specifications are given in appendix A.
LINDY 3-in-1 keyboard / video / mouse combination cables are particularly
recommended for neatness, convenience and video quality. (You do not need to
connect a mouse cable if you are not using the mouse).
A suitable mouse driver for your PCs. Supported types are:
- PS/2 or RS232 two button mouse driver (any manufacturer).
- Microsoft mouse driver (including IntelliMouse).
- Logitech mouse driver (including two button, three button and wheel mouse).
- General mouse drivers that are supplied with the operating system.
For the local user port connections you will need:
A monitor with a standard VGA-style 15-pin analogue video connector that will
work when connected directly to each of your PCs. LINDY Dual/Quad PRO supports
low and high resolution monitors.
