LINDY CPU Switch Smart Installation and Use Page 25
3.4 Keyboard hotkey control
LINDY CPU Switch Smart 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 ‘CTRL’ and ‘ALT’, although other
combinations can be selected by reconfiguring the hotkeys (see section 4.4). 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 Smart. HOTKEYs + TAB is an exception and this allows you to 'tab through'
the ports by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing TAB.
The hotkey command are summarised below (note that the numbers on the numeric
keypad do not form part of a valid hotkey) :
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘1’ - selects channel 1
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘2’ - selects channel 2
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘3’ - selects channel 3
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘4’ - selects channel 4
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘TAB’ - selects the next channel
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘A’ - selects autoscan mode where each channel is displayed for
the selected time (see section 4.2). To cancel autoscan mode simply select any
fixed channel either by hotkey or using the LINDY CPU Switch Smart button.
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘0’ – switches off the video signal and displays 0. This will cause
some monitors to go into standby mode or switch off. The video signal can be re-
enabled by selecting a channel.
‘HOTKEYs’ and ‘L’ - disables the LINDY CPU Switch Smart’s keyboard and mouse
and displays 0. The video signal is switched off. If a password has not been set then
the LINDY CPU Switch Smart can be re-enabled by selecting a channel. If a
password has been set then the LINDY CPU Switch Smart displays ’P’ to indicate
that a valid password must be entered to unlock the switch. Simply type the same
key combination as was set during configuration (see section 4.7) followed by the
(return) key. Note - if anyone has typed at the keyboard whilst in secure mode, it will
be necessary to type (return) first to clear the invalid password, then type the valid
password followed by (return) again.
