4. LINDY CPU Switch configuration options

The LINDY CPU Switch is supplied pre-configured with factory defaults which are suitable for most applications. There are a number of more advanced features and functions which can be set by the user. These are stored in the LINDY CPU Switch's EEPROM memory and are retained when the power is disconnected. The options may be changed whilst the LINDY CPU Switch is in configure mode. You may enter configure mode at initial power on or whilst the LINDY CPU Switch is running.

To enter configure mode at power on, switch off all the attached PCs and the LINDY CPU Switch. Hold down the SELECT key whilst powering on the LINDY CPU Switch. Do not release the key until the LINDY CPU Switch displays 'C' to show that it has entered configure mode.

To enter configure mode whilst the LINDY CPU Switch is running, hold down the SELECT key for 5 seconds until the front panel display shows ‘C’.

Options are entered by typing a letter followed by a number followed by <ENTER>. Use <ESC> to abort the entry of an option. The LINDY CPU Switch will remain in configure mode until you type

For example: to set hotkey option 2 type the following at the 'C' prompt

Simply typing at the keyboard or moving the mouse will re-enable the display. The display will flash whilst the LINDY CPU Switch is in screen save mode.
