Abstract
A method for operating a computer system is described. A remote device is initialized. The remote device sends data to a host computer, and a local device transmits an output signal. Once the output signal is detected and the remote device has stopped communicating with the host computer for a predetermined period of time, the local device is initialized.
Claims19
A method for operating a computer system, comprising:
- (a) initializing a first device;
- (b) transferring data to a host computer from the first device;
- (c) transmitting an output signal from a second device;
- and
- (d) initializing the second device once the output signal from the second device is detected and the first device has stopped transferring data to the host computer for a predetermined period of time.
A computer system capable of initializing peripherals, comprising:
- an intermediary module for generating a control signal according to an input signal;
- and
- a host computer coupled to the intermediary module, comprising a logic unit receiving the control signal from the intermediary module for initializing peripherals coupled to the intermediary module.
A computer system, comprising:
- a host computer;
- an intermediary module;
- a first device connected to the host computer through the intermediary module;
- and
- a second device connected to the host computer through the intermediary module;
- wherein once one of the first device and the second device has stopped communicating with the host computer for a predetermined period of time, the host computer initializes the other one of the first device and the second device.
A KVM switch, through which a host computer is coupled to a first device and a second device, the KVM switch comprising:
- a control unit;
- and
- a software, which converts the format of data from the second device;
- wherein once the control unit detects that one of the first device and the second device has stopped communicating with the host computer for a predetermined period of time, the host computer initializes the other one of the first device and the second device.
