Consequently the system administrator can disable all exclusive use so that all
connections are shared.
3.6.6 AUTOMATIC LOGOUT
Accessed from menu: SETUP OPTIONS
Settings: DISABLED, ENABLED
The CPU Switch enables you to restrict access to your computers on a login basis.
If a user forgets to logout when they have finished accessing the CPU Switch then
the user console may unintentionally be left with full access to all the computers.
The CPU Switch may be set to automatically logout unattended user consoles when
the screen saver kicks in. This reduces the risk of security problems by preventing
user consoles remaining in a permanent “logged-in” state when there is no keyboard
or mouse activity. The automatic logout feature is only enabled when the screen
saver feature is active (i.e. not disabled).
3.6.7 MOUSE SWITCHING
Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Settings: ENABLED, DISABLED
Like most LINDY Electronics Ltd KVM switches, the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO channel
may be switched using a three button mouse or IntelliMouse (see section 4.9).
Pressing the central button or wheel button together with the left hand mouse button
will cause the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO to switch to the next available computer.
When mouse switching is enabled the central mouse button or wheel mouse button
is allocated to control the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO and is not therefore available for
use by computer applications. If you want to use the central mouse button within
your applications you will need to disable mouse switching. The rotation action of an
IntelliMouse wheel is not affected and is always available to the PC application.
3.6.8 SCREEN SAVER
Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Settings: DISABLED; 2, 5, 7, 10,15, 20 & 30 MINUTES
To avoid burning out the phosphor on CRT monitor screens, the LINDY Dual/Quad
PRO can be set to blank the screen after no keyboard or mouse activity has been
detected for a selected timeout period. If preferred, the user can blank the screen
manually by selecting channel '0' using the keyboard hotkeys or by pressing ESC
from the login screen.
