3. Configuring the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO
3.1 Configuration summary
The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO is configured using the on-screen menu system which
is activated by default when you first power on the system. It may also be accessed
by using the keyboard 'hotkeys' (see section 4.8) or by using the LINDY Dual/Quad
PRO's front panel keys (see section 4.6). The following steps summarise a typical
configuration process. For more advanced information on each of the configuration
steps please refer to the appropriate sections of this manual shown in brackets.
Note: The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO is configured via the ADMIN user account. The
LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will allow multiple users to be logged in under the ADMIN
account but will only allow one of these users to be adding or editing computer
names or user profiles or setting global and setup options at any one time.
Step 1 - Decide if you are going to use password security
The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO may be run with security enabled or disabled. With
security disabled, all user ports have full access to all of the computers and full
administration rights. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO is shipped to you with security
disabled. This mode is suitable for simple installations with a small number of users.
Larger installations or systems with larger numbers of users will require password
security to be enabled. In this mode, each user logs on to the system and is
allocated access rights to defined computers by the system administrator. This
mode is recommended for most systems (see section 3.2 for details on how to
enable security). If you are not using security the go to step 4.
Step 2 - Create an ADMIN (administration) account password
The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO has a fixed user account that cannot be deleted named
ADMIN. This user account is the only one that is able to make important system
changes. If you are going to be using security then you should allocate a password
to this account (see section 3.3 for instructions).
