Autoscanning computer selection

These configuration options allow you to determine how the autoscanning
feature chooses which computer to view.
WARNING - When switching between different video sources, some CRT
(Cathode Ray Tube) type monitors will operate an internal mechanical relay at
every switchover - this can be heard as a mechanical ‘click’. To avoid damaging
the mechanical contacts of such relays, do not operate autoscan for long periods
with these types of monitors.

L1 Adder unit locks on to active ports only during autoscanning (default).
L2 Adder unit locks on to every port during autoscanning.
L3 Adder unit powers on in autoscan mode and locks on to active ports only.
L4 SmartView Multiscreen powers on in autoscan mode and locks on to all

ports.

L5 Allow the mouse to run at any speed (default).
L6 Don’t allow the mouse to run at very slow speeds.
L7 Cascade query code = AD (default).
L8 Cascade query code = EF.

Autoscanning dwell timing

These configuration options allow you to determine how long the autoscanning
feature dwells at each computer when scanning between them.

T1 Dwell at each computer for 2 seconds before switching to the next port

(default setting).

T2 Dwell at each computer for 5 seconds before switching to the next port.
T3 Dwell at each computer for 7 seconds before switching to the next port.
T4 Dwell at each computer for 10 seconds before switching to the next port.
T5 Dwell at each computer for 15 seconds before switching to the next port.
T6 Dwell at each computer for 20 seconds before switching to the next port.
T7 Dwell at each computer for 30 seconds before switching to the next port.
T8 Dwell at each computer for 60 seconds before switching to the next port.
