F7: SCAN
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 yourself.
The selection of KVM ports to be included for Auto Scanning is made
with the SCAN MODE setting under the F2 SET function (see SET SCAN
on p. 108).
The amount of time that each KVM port displays for is set with the SCAN
INTERVAL setting under the F2 SET function (see SET SCAN on p. 108).
When you want to stop at a particular location, press the [Spacebar] or
[Esc] to stop scanning and exit Auto Scan mode.
If the scanning stops on an empty KVM 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, Auto Scan mode will switch to the next KVM port.
As each KVM port is accessed, an S appears in front of the port ID display
to indicate that it is being accessed under Auto Scan mode.
While Auto Scan mode is in effect, the KVM console will not function
normally. You must exit Auto Scan mode in order to regain control of the
KVM console.
While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning in order to
keep the focus on a particular KVM port either by pressing P, or with a
left-click of the mouse. See Invoking Auto Scan, p. 126, for details.
While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can press the arrow keys to skip
through the OSD list:
After the amount of time set with the SCAN INTERVAL elapses, Auto
Scan mode will switch to the next KVM port.
When you skip, you only skip to the previous or next available KVM port
that is in the Auto Scan mode selection (see p. 108).
To exit Auto Scan mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
