Keyboard Hotkey Selection - Lindy 39532 User Manual

Section 3
3.1.3. Computer / Port Selection
You can select the computer you want to access in one of three different ways:
Front panel push button selection
Keyboard hotkey selection (the default hotkey for this KVM switch is "CAPS LOCK"
instead of "SCROLL LOCK" compared to previous LINDY U-series KVM switches!)
On screen display menu selection
3.1.4. Port LED Display
The front panel of the switch has two LEDs for each port.
When the red port LED labelled "On Line" is illuminated the computer attached to this port is
powered on. When the green LED labelled "Select" is illuminated, the KVM console is
connected to this port. If this LED flashes, the console is connected to this port, but either no
computer is attached, or the attached computer is not switched on.
3.1.5 Front panel push button selection
You may select a computer by pressing the appropriate port push button(s). Ports 1 – 9 may be
selected directly by pressing the single port button only. In this case the switch will switch 2
seconds after you have released the button. If you want to switch faster or to ports 10 – 16 you
have to press two buttons, i.e. 0 4 or 1 5 after each other. The switch will immediately switch
after you have released the last button.
When cascading more than one KVM Switch port selection is made by selecting the bank first
and then the port number on the master U8/16 KVM switch. To switch the bank press the button
"B" several times until the selected bank number is displayed in the Bank display. Then select
the port as described above. You may also switch via the OSD or keyboard hotkey.

3.2. Keyboard Hotkey Selection

You can also conveniently select the computer to be accessed and displayed by switching ports
through simple keyboard key sequences. To send commands to the KVM switch, the "CAPS
LOCK" key must be pressed twice within 2 seconds. You will hear a beep to confirm that
the keyboard is in hotkey mode. If you have not pressed any key in hotkey mode within 2
seconds, the keyboard will return back to Operating System control status.
For the U-series KVM switches it is possible to change the "CAPS LOCK" hotkey to certain
other hotkeys by selection from the OSD menu. This can help to prevent hotkey collisions with
other hotkeys from other devices. To do so you have to enter the Main OSD Menu by typing
CAPS LOCK twice and then pressing the SPACEBAR within 2 seconds.
To invoke the On Screen Display Menu press the following hotkeys:
Caps Caps Space Bar
+ +
Lock Lock
If the KVM switch prompts for your user name and password while no user names and
passwords have been assigned you may use eight zeros "00000000" for each, user name and
password.
