Clicking the F4 field, or pressing [F4] initiates Scan Mode, in which the OSD cycles through all the ports that have been selected for scanning with the Scan Mode setting (see SCAN MODE, page 23). When you want to stop at a particular location, press the [Spacebar] to stop scanning.
If the scanning stops on an empty port, or one where the computer is attached but is powered Off, the monitor screen will be blank and the mouse and keyboard will have no effect. To recover, To recover, press the OSD Activation Hotkey.
As the OSD cycles through the selected ports, an S appears in front of each accessed computer's Port ID display to indicate that the computer is being accessed under Quick View Scanning.
If a particular port is being accessed by another Console, an R appears in front of the Port ID display to indicate that the Port is "View Only." It can be viewed, but cannot be accessed at this time.
If a particular port has been designated as private (see F6, below), a P appears in front of the Port ID display to indicate that the Port is in "Private Mode." The screen is blank, and the port can neither be viewed, nor accessed.
If a particular port was accessed by one of the Consoles, but is no longer being accessed, the OSD begins a Timeout countdown (see Set Access
Timeout and Set Logout Timeout in the table, below), a Z appears in front of the Port ID display to indicate that the Port is Pending (i.e., the original Console that accessed it has first priority to reclaim it, but when the Timeout period ends, it is up for grabs to the first comer).
