3. Using the LINDY CPU Switch Smart
This section explains the general operation of the LINDY CPU Switch Smart. We
recommend that you read this section before starting to use the product.
3.1 Power on status
At power on the LINDY CPU Switch Smart selects computer 1 and displays 1. If a
password has been set then P will be displayed and the LINDY CPU Switch Smart
will remain locked until a valid password is entered.
3.2 Front panel key and remote controller
The front panel key is used to select which channel is currently controlled by the
shared keyboard, mouse and monitor ports. Pressing the key during normal
operation will cause the next channel to be selected.
The key can also be used to access the LINDY CPU Switch Smarts configuration
mode (see section 2.6). To do this press the key and hold it down for 5 seconds until
C appears on the LINDY CPU Switch Smarts front panel display.
An optional remote controller is also available which replicates the front panel key
and display, but can be located remotely from the LINDY CPU Switch Smart. This is
particularly useful in applications where the LINDY CPU Switch Smart is located
away from the desktop. The remote controller can be conveniently attached to your
keyboard with a couple of Velcro strips to give instant channel information and key
control.
