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

then <ENTER>. The display on the LINDY

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

excluding the

and <ENTER> keys. When you have typed in your password type

<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.

NOTE - The password consists of a combination of key strokes rather like the code to a safe. The

key strokes are not case sensitive and can include all the keys on the keyboard (except

and <ENTER>). Consequently the following 'password' would be valid:

When you have finished configuring any special options, simply type

followed by <ENTER> to

exit configure mode and return to normal operation mode. The attached computers can now be

switched on.
