3.3.2 Auto Scan

The ServerSwitch can automatically scan through each attached server in auto scan mode. Servers may be individually selected for inclusion in the auto scan; all server ports are selected by default. See section 3.5.3 for more information on selecting server ports for auto scan.

A user may begin auto scan by pressing A at the on-screen menu to change no Auto scan to start Auto scan. Once the user exits from the on-screen menu by pressing <ESC>, the auto scan will begin. The ServerSwitch will pause at each server for the duration specified by the Auto scan duration setting outlined in section

3.4.1.As the ServerSwitch displays each server port, its name and number will appear as set by the user, or may not appear if the port name is set to Never On (see section 3.4.4). The user may stop the auto scan by pressing any key. Note that only those servers that are powered and do not have their video output disabled (i.e., in suspend or screen saver mode) will display video in auto scan mode. In addition, if the other user has a port selected, then it will not be displayed in the auto scan.
