Chapter 5. Keyboard Port Operation

Auto Scanning

Auto Scanning allows the automatic monitoring of computer activity instead of having to switch manually. Invoking Auto Scan Mode causes the KL1116 to switch the KVM focus among all the active KVM Ports that are accessible to the currently logged on user at regular intervals. (See SCAN/SKIP MODE, page 33, for information regarding accessible ports.)

Setting the Scan Interval

The amount of time Auto Scan dwells on each port is set with the Scan Duration setting of the OSD F3 SET function (see page 33). You can change the scan interval before activating Hotkey Auto Scanning, if you wish, with the following Hotkey combination:

1.Invoke HKM (see page 41).

2.Key in [T] [n]

Where [T] is the letter T, and [n] is a number from 1–255 that represents the number of seconds the system dwells on a port before going on to the next.

The letter T and the numbers display on the Command Line as you key them in. If you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.

3.Press [Enter]

After you press Enter, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and are ready to invoke Auto Scanning.
