Auto Scan Mode

Auto Scan automatically switches, at regular intervals, among all the KVM ports that have been set as accessible under Scan–Skip Mode, so that their activity can be monitored automatically. See Scan–Skip Mode on page 37 for more information.

Invoking Auto Scan:

To start Auto Scan, key in the following Hotkey combination:

1.Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-]or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.

2.Press [A]. After you press A, then [Enter], you automatically exit hotkey mode, and enter Auto Scan mode.

ŠWhile you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning in order to keep the focus on a particular computer either by pressing P or with a left click of the mouse. During the time that auto-scanning is paused, the command line displays: Auto Scan: Paused.

Pausing when you want to keep the focus on a particular computer is more convenient than exiting Auto Scan mode because when you resume scanning, you start from where you left off. If, on the other hand, you exited and restarted, scanning would start over from the very first computer on the installation.

To resume Auto Scanning, press any key or left-click. Scanning continues from where it left off.

ŠWhile Auto Scan mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Auto Scan mode compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks can be input. You must exit Auto Scan mode in order to regain normal control of the console.

3.To exit Auto Scan mode press [Esc] or [Spacebar]. Auto-scanning stops when you exit Auto Scan mode.
