KM0216 / KM0432 User Manual
F7 SCAN
This function allows you to automatically switch 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 SCAN/SKIP MODE, page 39).
The amount of time that each Port displays for is set with the Scan Duration setting under the F3 SET function (see SCAN DURATION, page 39). When you want to stop at a particular location, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc] to stop scanning and exit Auto Scan Mode.
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. Simply
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 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.
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. See Invoking Auto Scan, page 52, for details.
To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
