Chapter 4. OSD Operation

Auto Scan Mode Switching

Auto Scan automatically switches among all the active computer ports that are accessible to the currently logged on user at regular intervals. This allows their activity to be monitored automatically (See SCAN/SKIP MODE of the OSD F3 SET function, page 31).

Setting the Scan Interval

The amount of time Auto Scan keeps the focus on each port is set with the SCAN DURATION setting of the OSD F3 SET function (see page 30). You can change the scan interval, before you activate Hotkey Auto Scanning, by entering the following Hotkey combination:

1.Enter the Hotkey mode:

[Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.

2.Key in [A][n]

Where [A] is the letter A, and [n] is a number from 1–255 that represents the length of the focus time in seconds.

The letter A and the numbers display on the command line as you key them in. Use [Backspace] to erase any wrong entry.

3.Press [Enter]

After you press [Enter], you exit Hotkey mode, and are ready to start Auto Scanning.

Entering Auto Scan

To enter the Auto Scanning mode, key in the following Hotkey combination:

1.Enter the Hotkey mode:

[Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12] combination.

2.Press [A] + [Enter].

ŠWhile you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning to keep the focus on a particular computer by pressing [P]. When Auto Scanning is paused, the Command Line displays: Auto Scan: Paused.
