3.1 Configuration summary

The LINDY CPU Switch 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 CPU Switch'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 CPU Switch is configured via the ADMIN user account. The LINDY CPU Switch 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 CPU Switch 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 CPU Switch 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 CPU Switch 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).
