3.6.9 AUTOSCAN MODE
Accessed from menu: GLOBAL PREFERENCES
Settings: SCAN LIST, ACTIVE PCs, ALL PCs
The LINDY CPU Switch supports an autoscan mode that automatically scans between the connected computers in sequence. The LINDY CPU Switch supports three autoscan modes. In the first mode the LINDY CPU Switch will scan all the named computers that are defined in the autoscan list (SCAN LIST). The computers defined in the scan list may be connected to cascaded LINDY CPU Switches. If you wish to scan the ports on the current LINDY CPU Switch then you may select ALL the available computers or just the available computers that are currently powered on (the ACTIVE computers). Scanning just the active computers avoids blank screens from being displayed and stops the monitor from going into a power down state on every scan cycle.
WARNING - Many modern monitors are fitted with automatic power save relays and will switch off after a few seconds if connected to an inactive PC. If you are using such a monitor you must not set the LINDY CPU Switch to scan ALL ports. Constant switching on and off of your monitor's relay will eventually damage your monitor. If you are using the SCAN LIST option then you should ensure that all the computers are active if you are using one of these monitors.
If you choose to use the SCAN LIST option then you may define the computers to be scanned in the following manner.
