Scan Mode

To activate Scan Mode press <S> while in Command Mode menu. When in Scan Mode the switch scans to each port with a CPU
powered-ON. (The SCAN LED on the front panel will illuminate and remain ON while in Scan Mode. ) The port with the CPU
powered-ON remains active while in use until it becomes idle for the configured dwell time (default time-out period is 5 seconds)
before switching to the next powered-ON CPU port. See Command Mode section above for configuring the scan dwell time.
Note: The keyboard and mouse must remain idle for the full scan dwell time before the switch selects the next active
port.
To begin scanning, press <Esc> to exit Command Mode.
To deactivate Scan Mode press <S> again while in Command Mode.

Broadcast Mode

To activate Broadcast Mode press <B> while in Command Mode. Broadcast Mode enables the user to type characters to all
powered-ON CPUs simultaneously.
Note: The user must type somewhat slowly (less than 20 wpm) when in Broadcast Mode and cannot use the
<Backspace> key.
To begin broadcasting, press <Esc> to exit Command Mode.
To deactivate Broadcast Mode press <B> again while in Command Mode.
