Using the Switch from a Remote Console

AutoScan Mode

The AutoScan feature allows you to set your Switch to scan and monitor the
activities of all connected servers one by one. The Switch remains on one server
for a preset number of seconds, before switching to the next server. The time
interval allotted for each server can be defined or adjusted through the OSD
menu (see the “Scan Time” section).

When the Switch is in AutoScan mode, it is also in view-only mode. This means
that input from the console (keyboard and mouse) will not be transmitted to the
server in focus. Cancel AutoScan to regain control of the server.

To activate the AutoScan function, press the “AutoScan” button on the Switch.
You can also activate AutoScan on your keyboard by pressing “Scroll Lock”,
“Scroll Lock”, space bar, “F4”.

To disable AutoScan, press any button on the front panel or any key on
the keyboard.

Note: There is no mouse or keyboard control in AutoScan mode. This is

necessary to prevent data and synchronization errors. If the user is using the

mouse or keyboard when the Switch is switching between ports, data flow may

become interrupted and could result in erratic mouse movement and/or wrong-

character input when using the keyboard.
