Feature Request: Watchdog Mode

We would like to use the USB switch to switch a device between two servers, but only if the first server is unavailable.

We were thinking the following would work:

  • watchdog mode is activated
  • controller has to send a character every ~5 seconds over the usb serial.
  • If the character is received, the switch stays switched to device A
  • If the character isn't received it switches to B

This is to support sharing a USB console server device between two firewalls for easy remote access. The primary firewall would be plugged into the controller port.
