Scan Mode

To activate Scan Mode press <Ctrl> + <S> from the Command Mode menu.

Scan Mode enables the user to scan through selected ports and to have full device control of the connected port. A port is skipped from the scan cycle if one of the following conditions is true:

-the port is used by another user

-security mode is enabled and the user does not have access rights to the port

-the CPU connected to the port is OFF

The scan dwell time is programmable from 2 to 255 seconds (default time-out period is 5 seconds). When the user uses the mouse or keyboard the scanned port becomes active and scanning is stopped. The switch will resume scanning after a period of user inactivity determined by the scan dwell time. See Command Mode above for configuring the scan dwell time.

NOTE: The scan dwell time set by the user only effects that user and has no effect on other switch users.

NOTE: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the next active port.
