Belkin F1DP116G, F1DP108G user manual AutoScan Mode

Using the Switch from a Local 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.
