Invoking Auto Scan

To start Auto Scanning, key in the following hotkey combination:

1.Invoke Hotkey mode (see page 31).

2.Press [A].

After you press A, you automatically exit Hotkey mode, and enter Auto Scan mode, and Auto Scanning begins.

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

Pausing and exiting are the two ways to stop scanning and keep the focus on a particular port. If you intend to continue scanning after a brief stop, pausing is more convenient than exiting Auto Scan mode completely.

This is because when you resume scanning after pausing, you start from where you left off. On the other hand, if you exit and then restart Auto Scan mode, you start over from the very first port on the installation.

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

ŠWhile you are in Auto Scan mode, you can press the arrow keys to skip through the OSD list:

Switches to the previous port in the OSD list.

Switches to the next port in the OSD list.

Switches to the first port in the OSD list.

Switches to the last port in the OSD list.

After the amount of time set with the Scan Timer elapses, Auto Scan mode will switch to the next port.

ŠWhile Auto Scan mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspendedonly 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 KVM console.
