Scan Mode
Using Scan Mode, the user can automatically switch from one CPU to another in predetermined configurable time intervals. The
CPU ports to be scanned are easily selected provided the user has access to them. At initial startup, the user as access to all
CPU ports by default.
To activate or deactivate Scan Mode press <S> from the Command Mode menu. The text shown in the menu (see Figure 11) will
toggle between “Scan=N” and “Scan=Y”, each time the <S> key is pressed. When “Scan=Y” is shown, Scan Mode is active.
When “Scan=N” is shown, Scan Mode is OFF.
From the Settings menu (see page 15) press <S> to access the “Scan List”. The Scan List enables the user to select specific
ports to be active in Scan Mode. While active, the user will have full device control of the connected port. Only the selected
ports will be scanned in Scan Mode.
The “Scan List” is a check list with all the port numbers displayed
• unchecked box = the corresponding port is not in the scan list
• checked box = the corresponding port is in the scan list
From the “Scan List” the user can:
• toggle the state of the selected port (press <Spacebar>)
• select all ports to be scanned (press <A>)
• deselect all ports so that none are scanned (press <N>)
• find a specific port to either select or deselect (press <F> ,
then any alphabetical or numeric character to locate the desired port).
