CM1164 User Manual

Auto Scanning

The CM1164’s Auto Scan feature automatically cycles the KVM focus through the computer ports at regular intervals. This allows you to monitor the computer activity without having to take the trouble of switching from port to port manually. Although the video focus switches from port to port, the keyboard, mouse, and USB focus do not switch. They stay at the port they were on when Auto Scanning started. See the table below for details.

Hotkey

Action

 

 

[Num Lock] [-] [A]

Invokes Auto Scan. The KVM focus cycles from port to port

[Enter]

at 5 second intervals. This is the Default setting.

 

 

[Num Lock] [-] [A] [n]

The KVM focus cycles from port to port at n second intervals.

[Enter]

Note: The n stands for the number of seconds that the

 

CM1164 should dwell on a port before moving on to the next.

 

Replace the n with a number between 1 and 99 when

 

entering this hotkey combination.

 

 

When you use the port switching hotkey or HSM, the mouse cursor must be in the current computer display.

While 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.
