4.7 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 Multiscreen can be locked away in a room or secure cabinet and controlled

remotely. In this mode typing the keyboard hotkeys together with 'L' will blank the

screen, disconnect the keyboard and mouse from all of the computers and display

‘P’ on the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen display. Control can only be regained by

typing the correct password on the keyboard.

To set the password in configure mode, first type ‘P’ then (return). The display on

LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen 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 (ctrl), (alt), (shift) and (return)

keys. When you have typed in your password type (return) 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 Multiscreen is locked, the unit may be unlocked by powering

down the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen, entering configure mode at power on (see

section 2.6), and performing a complete reset using the F8 function.

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 ctrl, alt, shift and enter). Consequently the following 'password'

would be valid:
