Installation and Use 
LINDY CPU Switch USB
 
2.4.3 Setting the LINDY CPU Switch USB to scan all ports or just the 
active ports 
 
The LINDY CPU Switch USB’s front panel button may be used to select the required 
computer. To avoid the need to press the key more times than necessary the LINDY 
CPU Switch USB may be set to scan just the ports that have powered computers 
attached. When the LINDY CPU Switch USB has been set to scan these ‘active’ 
ports, only these ports may be selected using the front panel button. If you wish to 
be able to select all the ports, regardless of whether the connected computers are 
powered on or not, then the LINDY CPU Switch USB may be set to scan all ports. 
The scan strategy is selected using option switch 8. This setting also controls the 
ports that are scanned during autoscan and the ports that may be selected using the 
keyboard hotkeys+TAB or a 3-button mouse (model 32 341 only).  
The LINDY CPU Switch USB determines if a port is active by monitoring the 
signals present on the USB interface cable. The LINDY CPU Switch USB is not 
able to detect an active computer if a USB cable from that computer is not 
connected to the LINDY CPU Switch USB. 
2.4.4 Setting the keyboard hotkey combination  
(model 32 341 only) 
 
The LINDY CPU Switch USB’s channel may be selected by pressing keyboard 
hotkey combinations on the keyboard attached to the PS/2 keyboard port. Keyboard 
hotkey combinations consist of three keys that are pressed together to activate the 
required function. For example, pressing CTRL and ALT and 2 together would select 
channel 2 (assuming the default hotkeys). Certain hotkey combinations may 
sometimes be used by other systems or software so various different hotkey 
combinations may be selected. Options switches 1 and 2 are used to select the 
required hotkey combination or disable the hotkeys. 
 
2.4.5 Enabling and disabling mouse channel switching 
(model 32 341 only) 
 
A three button PS/2 mouse or an IntelliMouse can be used to switch channels on the 
LINDY CPU Switch USB. To switch to the next channel, the user simply holds down 
the central button or wheel button and presses the left hand button to change 
channel. If the user does not wish to take advantage of this feature, it can be
