Auto Scan Mode:

The GCS1758’s Auto Scan feature automatically switches among all the active CPU Ports that are accessible to the currently logged on User at regular intervals (see Scan Mode of the OSD F3 SET function, p. 31), so that he can monitor their activity automatically.

1.Invoke HKM (see p. 19)

2.Key in [A]. After you press A, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and enter Auto Scan Mode.
