LINDY CPU Switch Dual Multi-Platform          Installation and Use 

Page 55 

when configuring a cascade of LINDY CPU Switches are given in section 2.5. 

 

Although it is theoretically possible to select computers on cascaded units by 

pressing the hotkeys and then typing in the port address this would be highly 

confusing for users and is not generally recommended. Consequently it is normally 

advisable to use the on-screen menu to select computers on cascaded units. 

 

However it is sometimes useful to be able to connect to ports on cascaded units via a 

specific cascade cable (rather than the first available of a group) in order to check 

that the cabling is working as expected. To do this you can use a hotkey sequence 

similar to the example shown below.   

 

For example to connect to port 14 on a LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP that is cascaded 

off port 1 of your first LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP. Although the following example 

selects a port with a four digit address (port 0114) you can type port addresses that 

are eight digits long to access computers that are on the forth cascade level (e.g. 

Port 01140203).
