Setting a security password

There are many situations where unrestricted access to corporate file servers or sensitive
information needs to be controlled. In such circumstances, the LINDY CPU Switch can be locked
away in a room or secure cabinet and controlled remotely. In this mode typing the keyboard
hotkeys together with 0 will blank the screen, disconnect the keyboard and mouse from all of the
computers and display 'P' on the LINDY CPU Switch display. Control can only be regained by
typing the correct password on the keyboard.
To set the password in configure mode, first type
CPU Switch will change to show '=' and you can then type your password. The password is not
case sensitive and can be any combination of key strokes, including the function keys, but

<ENTER> to register it in the stored memory. Do not worry if you type the password incorrectly,
you can always re-enter configure mode and set the password again. If you have lost the
password and the LINDY CPU Switch Junior is locked, the unit may be unlocked by powering

Cascade query code

The LINDY CPU Switch Junior OSD use a special 'query code' to detect whether or not they are
connected to another LINDY CPU Switch Junior. By default your LINDY CPU Switch Junior OSD
uses query code AD. Another range of switches, LINDY CPU Switch Pro with firmware versions
less than 1.09 used query code EF. This was found to conflict with a small number of other (rare)
devices that used the same query code so an alternative query code was provided to ensure
compatibility. Either query code may be used but you should make sure that all cascaded LINDY
CPU Switches are set to use the same query code. If any of the cascaded LINDY CPU Switch
Pros have firmware versions less than 1.09 then the cascade query code for all the LINDY CPU
Switch Juniors and LINDY CPU Switch Pros should be set to EF.
