The following steps summarise a typical configuration process. For more advanced information on each of the configuration steps please refer to the appropriate sections of this manual shown in brackets. Note: The LINDY CPU Switch is configured via the ADMIN user account. The LINDY CPU Switch will allow multiple users to be logged in under the ADMIN account but will only allow one of these users to be adding or editing computer names or user profiles or setting global and setup options at any one time. Step 1 - Decide if you are going to use password security The LINDY CPU Switch may be run with security enabled or disabled. With security disabled, all user ports have full access to all of the computers and full administration rights. The LINDY CPU Switch is shipped to you with security disabled. This mode is suitable for simple installations with a small number of users. Larger installations or systems with larger numbers of users will require password security to be enabled. In this mode, each user logs on to the system and is allocated access rights to defined computers by the system administrator. This mode is recommended for most systems (see section 3.2 for details on how to enable security). If you are not using security the go to step 4. Step 2 - Create an ADMIN (administration) account password The LINDY CPU Switch has a fixed user account that cannot be deleted, named ADMIN. This user account is the only one that is able to make important system changes. If you are going to be using security then you should allocate a password to this account (see section 3.3 for instructions). LINDY CPU Switch Dual Multi-Platform Installation and Use Page 24 Step 3 - Create user accounts Login to the LINDY CPU Switch using the ADMIN account and add user profiles and passwords for each of the system users (see section 3.4). The LINDY CPU Switch supports up to 16 user profiles. Step 4 - Add / edit names to identify your computers Whilst you are logged into the LINDY CPU Switch using the ADMIN account, create names for each of the computers that you have attached to the system. The LINDY CPU Switch creates default names for each of its ports (Computer 1 to Computer 16). These default names may be edited as required. Whilst adding the computer names you can define which users will have access to each computer. Each computer has an associated 8 digit port number which defines its location. If you are using a single LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP then all the computers will have two digit port numbers (01 to 16). If you are cascading LINDY CPU Switches then each computer will have a four, six or eight digit port number depending on the number of cascade levels that have been connected (see section 4.10 for details). Step 5 - Set the required SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCES Use the ADMIN account to select the required SETUP OPTIONS and GLOBAL PREFERENCES. The SETUP OPTIONS menu is used to configure important system operating parameters such as security mode, language, hotkeys and control options. The GLOBAL PREFERENCES menu is used to select various timing characteristics and other options. 3.2 Enabling password security The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP may be operated with or without security enabled. With no security all users will have full administration rights and full access to all the connected computers. For systems with several users this may not be desirable. System security is enabled using the on-screen menu. The on-screen menu is activated automatically when you first switch on the LINDY CPU Switch but may also be selected using the keyboard hotkeys (see section 4.8) or the front panel controls (see section 4.6). LINDY CPU Switch Dual Multi-Platform Installation and Use Page 25 To switch on the password security system: From the main on-screen menu press F1 for MORE MENUS. Select SETUP OPTIONS from the menu. Move the menu bar over the SECURITY option. Press SPACE BAR to enable security. Press ESC to quit from the menu. 3.3 Setting an ADMIN password The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP supports up to 16 user profiles. The administrator of the system can grant or deny users access to any of the connected computers and has complete control over the setup of the system. The administrator accesses the system via a special user named ADMIN. This profile may not be altered or deleted from the system and has full access rights to all computers and system parameters. Consequently it is advisable to set a password for this user. To set a password for the ADMIN user: From the main on-screen menu press F1 for MORE MENUS. Select EDIT USER LIST from the menu. Move the menu bar over the ADMIN user. Press RETURN or ENTER to edit the ADMIN user. Press RETURN or ENTER again to edit the ADMIN user's password. Make sure that the password you want is displayed. Press RETURN or ENTER to save the password. You will now see the "Edit Access Rights" menu. The ADMIN user always has access to all the computers. Press RETURN or ENTER again to quit ...
