F7 SCAN:
Clicking the F7 field or pressing [F7] invokes Auto Scan Mode.
This function allows you to automatically switch among the
available computers at regular intervals so that you can monitor
their activity without having to take the trouble of switching
manually.
w The selection of computers to be included for Auto Scanning is
made with the Scan/Skip Mode setting under the F3 SET
function (see p. 4-7).
w The amount of time that the focus stays on each Port is set with
the Scan Duration setting under the F3 SET function (see p.
4-7).
w As each computer is accessed, an S appears in front of the Port
ID display to indicate that it is being accessed under Auto Scan
Mode.
w While you are in Auto Scan Mode, you can pause the scanning
in order to keep the focus on a particular computer either by
pressing P, or with a Left Click of the mouse. To resume
scanning, press any key or Left Click, again. See Invoking Auto
Scan, p. 3-4, for details.
w To stop scanning and stay at a particular location, press the
[Spacebar] to exit Auto Scan Mode. If the scanning stops on an
empty port, or one where the computer is attached but is powered
Off, the monitor screen will be blank, and the mouse and keyboard
will have no effect. Simply wait - after the Scan Duration time is
up, the Scan function will move on to the next port.
w While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, the console will not
function normally. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to
regain control of the console.
w To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
