LINDY CPU Switch can be conveniently controlled by selecting channel, autoscan mode or security locking from the keyboard. All of the hotkey control commands are invoked by holding

down the two hotkeys and then pressing a command key. By default, the two hotkeys are t and

s, although other combinations can be selected by reconfiguring the hotkeys (see section 4.7). Once the hotkey command has been activated you will need to release the hotkeys and the command key before a new hotkey command is accepted by the LINDY CPU Switch. HOTKEYs +

vis an exception and this allows you to 'tab through' the ports by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing v.

The hotkey command are summarised below
