Chapter 4. Hotkey Operation

Auto Scanning

Auto Scan switches among all the KVM ports that are accessible to the current Operator at regular intervals (see SCAN/SKIP MODE, page 39, for information regarding accessible ports). This function is convenient for automatically monitoring the activity of the computers on the installation.

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 SCAN DURATION, page 39). You can change the scan interval before activating Hotkey Auto Scanning, if you wish, with the following Hotkey combination:

1.Invoke HKM (see page 49).

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 for the dwell time.

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 HKM, and are ready to invoke Auto Scanning.
