KL1508A / KL1516A User Manual
F7: SCANThis function automatically switches among the available computers at regular intervals so that you can monitor their activity without having to take the trouble of switching manually.
The selection of computers to be included for Auto Scanning is made with the Scan/Skip mode setting under the F3 SET function (see page 39).
The amount of time that each port displays for is set with the Scan Duration setting under the F3 SET function (see page 38).
As each computer is accessed, an S appears in front of the port ID
display to indicate that it is being accessed under Auto Scan mode.
While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning in order to keep the focus on a particular computer either by pressing P, or with a left click of the mouse. To resume scanning, press any key or left click again. See Auto Scan Mode Switching, page 50, for details.
While Auto Scan mode is in effect, the console will not function normally. You must exit Auto Scan mode in order to regain control of the console.
To exit Auto Scan mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
F8: LOUTClicking the F8 field, or pressing [F8], logs you out of the OSD and blanks the console screen. This is different from simply deactivating the OSD when you are at the Main Screen by pressing [Esc].
With this function you must log in all over again to regain access to the OSD, whereas with [Esc], all you have to do to reenter the OSD is tap the OSD Hotkey.
Note: 1. When you reenter the OSD after logging out, the screen stays blank except for the login dialog box. You must input your username and password before you can continue (see page 33). If login has been disabled by the administrator (see page 43), the F8 function is also disabled.
2.If you reenter the OSD after logging out, and immediately use [Esc] to deactivate the OSD without having selected a port from the OSD menu, a Null Port message displays on the screen. The OSD hotkey will bring up the OSD Main Screen.
