Black Box KV5300 Series manual Scan Mode

SERVSWITCH™ AND SERVSWITCH ULTRA™

4.3.3SCAN MODE

To start scanning (switching from CPU to CPU in a continuous rotation) from the keyboard, press and release the left Control key ([CTRL]), then press [S]. The ServSwitch will begin scanning sequentially from its currently selected port through the higher-numbered ports, then begin again at CPU Port 1. As it scans, it delays 1 to 15 seconds at each port. (This “Scan-Delay Time” is user-selectable; see Section 4.3.5.) To stop scanning, press and release [CTRL], then press [X]; you can also stop a scan by entering a Select Port command. ServSwitch letter commands are not case-sensitive: You can enter upper- or lower-case letters.

4.3.4KEEP SETTINGS

The Keep Settings command saves the current state of the ServSwitch’s keyboard- selectable settings to nonvolatile memory (NVRAM), where they become the new default (loaded at power-up) settings. To enter the command, press and release the left Control key, then type [K]. The eight keyboard-selectable settings are described in the next eight subsections.

4.3.5SET SCAN-DELAY TIME

Issue the Set Scan-Delay Time command to set the time, in seconds, that the ServSwitch will pause at each of the CPU ports when it’s scanning them. The factory-default setting is 5 seconds. To set a different delay time, press and release the left Control key, type [T] followed by the new delay time in seconds (1 to 15), and press [ENTER]. Issue the Keep Settings command after you enter this command.

If you issue this command with an argument of zero, the ServSwitch will set the scan-delay time to the default value most recently saved in NVRAM.
