Pausing Auto Scan

While you are in Auto Scan Mode, you can pause the scanning in order to
keep the focus on a particular server by pressing

P

. During the time that

Auto Scanning is paused, the

S

in front of the Port ID blinks On and Off.

Pausing

when you want to keep the focus on a particular server can be

more convenient than exiting Auto Scan Mode because when you

Resume

scanning, you start from where you left off. If, on the other hand, you were
to exit and then restart Auto Scan Mode, the scanning would start over
from the very first server on the installation.

To

Resume

Auto Scanning after a pause, press any key except [Esc] or the

[Spacebar]. Scanning continues from where it left off.

Š

Exiting Auto Scan

While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard functions are
suspended. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain normal
control of the keyboard. To exit Auto Scan Mode press [Esc] or the
[Spacebar]. Auto Scanning stops when you exit Auto Scan Mode.

Skip Mode

Skip Mode allows you to switch ports in order to monitor the servers manually.
You can dwell on a particular port for as long or as little as you like - as
opposed to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval.
The Skip Mode hotkeys are the four Arrow keys. Their operation is explained
in the table below:
