Initiate an Auto Scan
Auto Scan allows you to switch between ports at regular intervals without having to manually switch between them. This hotkey command initiates an Auto Scan using the Scan Duration entered into the OSD. (See page 20 for details.) By default, the Scan Duration
is set at 5 second intervals. When scanning, only the KVM focus is transferred to the next computer. The USB and Audio focus remain on the same computers they were on when Auto Scan began. Also, the only computers that are accessed during an Auto Scan are those that are both connected and

3.Enter in a Scan Duration from 1 to 255 seconds.
4.Press and release the [Enter] key.
Note: This hotkey command will not only perform the current Auto Scan at the desired interval, it will also change the Scan Duration in the OSD.
Skip Mode
Similarly to Auto Scan mode, Skip Mode allows you to easily monitor the connected com- puters. Unlike Auto Scan mode, Skip Mode allows you to monitor connected computers at your leisure, without automatically jumping to the next port after a set time interval. Skip Mode also allows you to jump back and forth between ports, as opposed to an Auto Scan, which automatically skips to the next available port. When in Skip Mode, only the KVM focus is transferred to the next computer. The USB and Audio focus remain on the same computers they were on when Skip Mode began. To initiate Skip Mode, perform the follow- ing command:
1. Activate Hotkey Setting Mode using the aforementioned command.
