Scan Mode
To activate Scan Mode press < S > from the Command Mode menu.
Scan Mode enables the user to scan through selected Host Adapters (unless they are powered-OFF) and to have full device
control of the connected powered-ON Host Adapter. From the Settings menu (page 21) the user can edit the list of Host Adapters
that can be scanned. A Host Adapter is skipped from the scan cycle if the Host Adapter is not selected in the scan list (page 23).
When switching to a new Host Adapter the Host Adapter name is displayed by OSD for 4 seconds. When the user moves the
mouse or types on the keyboard the scanned Host Adapter becomes active and scanning is stopped. The switch will resume
scanning after a period of user inactivity determined by the
scan dwell time. The scan dwell time is programmable from 2 to 255
seconds (default time-out period is 5 seconds). See Settings Menu (page 21) for configuring the scan dwell time.
Note: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the next active
Host Adapter.
Normal Mode
When the User Station is not in Command or Scan mode and the OSD control menu is not active on the monitor, the user is in
Normal Mode, controlling the CPU to which the user is connected through the PRIMUX switch.
