Auto Scan Mode (ASM)

The Auto Scan feature automatically toggles the KVM focus between the Local and Remote Units at regular intervals. As a result, any computers connected to each can be monitored without user intervention. The default time interval is 5 seconds.

To invoke Auto Scan Mode do the following:

Press and release the Left Shift key; then press and release the Right Shift key:

[Left Shift] [Right Shift]

Once scanning begins, it continues until you press the [Spacebar] to exit Auto Scan Mode. The port that was currently active at the time scanning stopped remains active.

Note: While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended. You must exit Auto Scan Mode by pressing the [Spacebar] in order to regain normal control of their use.

Changing the Scan Interval

If you wish, before you invoke Auto Scanning you can change the amount of time Auto Scan stops at each port. To do so, use the following Hotkey combination (press and release the keys one at a time):

[Left shift] [Right shift] [n]

Where n represents a number from 1 to 4 that specifies the desired scan interval time, as shown in the table below:
