Autoscan Mode
Settings: SCAN LIST, ACTIVE PCs, ALL PCs
The.AdderView.CATx.supports.an.autoscan.mode.that.automatically.scans.
between.the.connected.computers.in.sequence..There.are.three.autoscan.
modes..In.the.first.mode.the.AdderView.CATx.will.scan.all.the.named.computers.
that.are.defined.in.the.autoscan.list.(SCAN.LIST)..The.computers.defined.in.the.
scan.list.may.be.connected.to.cascaded.AdderView.CATx.units..If.you.wish.to.
scan.the.ports.on.the.current.AdderView.CATx.then.you.may.select.ALL.the.
available.computers.or.just.the.available.computers.that.are.currently.powered.
on.(the.ACTIVE.computers)..Scanning.just.the.active.computers.avoids.blank.
screens.from.being.displayed.and.stops.the.monitor.from.going.into.a.power.
down.state.on.every.scan.cycle.
WARNING - Many modern monitors are fitted with automatic power save
relays and will switch off after a few seconds if connected to an inactive
PC. If you are using such a monitor you must not set the AdderView CATx
to scan ALL ports. Constant switching on and off of your monitor’s relay
will eventually damage your monitor. If you are using the SCAN LIST
option then you should ensure that all the computers are active if you are
using one of these monitors.
If.you.choose.to.use.the.SCAN.LIST.option.then.you.may.define.the.computers.
to.be.scanned.in.the.following.manner.
