Lindy LF1TBELRG User Manual

 

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.
