Selecting devices for Scan mode
The Scan dialog box allows the local user to define a custom list of devices to include while in Scan
mode and the number of seconds to display each device. The creation of the Scan list does not start
Scan mode. You must enable Scan mode using the Scan Enable check box on the Commands
dialog box. The Scan list is displayed in the manner set from the Menu dialog box. It can be
changed in the Scan dialog box to sort either by name, eID, or port by choosing one of the buttons.
If a device on the list is unavailable, it is skipped. Watch mode views a device unless a conflicting
network user blocks the path to that device. If a conflict is detected in Watch mode (or the device is
unavailable), the device to be viewed is skipped.
To add devices to the Scan list:
1.
Activate the OSCAR interface and click Setup > Scan to open the Scan dialog box.
2.
The dialog box contains a listing of all devices attached to your switch. Click the check box to
the right of the device, double-click on the desired entry, or highlight the device, and click the
Add/Remove button to toggle the scan check box setting. You can select up to 100 devices for
inclusion in the Scan list.
NOTE: Click the Clear button to remove all devices from the Scan list.
3.
In the Time field, type the number of seconds (from 3 - 255) to display each device while scan-
ning. The default is 15 seconds per device.
4.
Click OK.
NOTE: The order in which the devices appear in the Scan dialog box is based on the order in which they were
selected. Scanning a single device multiple times during a loop is not supported. Scan time must be the same for
all devices.
