LINDY CPU Switches, the cascade routing will need to be entered (see section 3.10 for more
details). To specify port 5 on a LINDY CPU Switch that is cascaded off port 3 you would enter port
number 35 (CPU 4 OSD & CPU 8 OSD models) or 0305 (CPU 16 OSD model). Units can be
cascaded three levels deep. Now press <ENTER> again to complete the entry and store it in the
menu memory.
Note that you can add another Computer to the menu list at any time. If you just use the
<INSERT> key, the entry will be placed after the current line. To place an entry before the current
line use <SHIFT> and <INSERT> together, then edit the new name as already described.

is particularly useful in systems where many computers are displaying the same or very similar
video. The selected computer name and port number will briefly flash up on the screen to confirm
the selection has been made. If it is not possible to make the connection, perhaps because a
cascaded unit is not switched on or is in use locally, the menu will flash ‘computer unavailable’ until
the <ESC> key is pressed.
