Auto Scan Mode
Auto Scan automatically switches among all the KVM ports that are accessible
to the user at regular intervals, so that their activity can be monitored
automatically. (See
SCAN–SKIP MODE , page 37 for information regarding
accessible ports.)
Invoking Auto Scan
To start Auto Scan mode , do the following:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode (see page 46).
2. Press [A] .
3. Press [Enter]
After pressing [Enter], you exit Hotkey mode, and enter Auto Scan mode.
While Auto Scan mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse
functions are suspended – only Auto Scan mode compliant keystrokes and
mouse clicks can be input. You must exit Auto Scan mode in order to
regain normal control of the console.
Exiting Auto Scan
To exit Auto Scan mode press [Esc] or [Spacebar] . Automatic scanning stops
and you return to normal console operation.
Pausing Auto Scan
While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning in order to keep
the focus on a particular computer.
In certain cases, pausing can be more convenient than exiting Auto Scan mode
because when you resume , the scanning order starts from the point you paused.
If, by contrast, you exited in order to focus on a particular computer, when you
restarted scanning would start over from the first computer of the installation.
To pause Auto Scan mode, press [P] or left click with the mouse. While auto
scan mode is paused, the command line displays:
Auto Scan: Paused.
To resume Auto Scanning from where you paused, press any key or left click.
