F7: Scan - Tripp Lite NetDirector B024-DPU08 Owner's Manual

9. OSD Operation

9.6.7 F7: Scan

Clicking or pressing [F7] invokes Auto Scan mode. This function allows you to automatically switch among the
available computers at regular intervals so that their activity can be monitored without the inconvenience of switching
yourself.
Note: Mouse emulation must be enabled for Auto Scan to work.
• The selection of computers to be included for auto-scanning is made with the Scan/Skip mode setting under the
F3: SET function (refer to Scan/Skip mode in the table in section 9.6.3 F3: Set for details).
• The amount of time that each port displays for is set with the Scan Duration setting under the F3: SET function
(refer to Scan Duration in the table in section 9.6.3 F3: Set for details). To stop at a particular location, press the
[Spacebar] to stop scanning.
• If the scanning stops on an empty port or one where the computer is attached but is powered off, the monitor
screen will be blank and the mouse and keyboard will have no effect. After the Scan Duration time is up, the scan
function will move on to the next port.
• As each computer is accessed, an S appears in front of the port ID display to indicate it is being accessed under
Auto Scan mode. When the port ID with the symbol displays, the background screen is blank.
• While Auto Scan mode is in effect, the console will not function normally. You must exit Auto Scan mode in order to
regain control of the console.
• While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning in order to keep the focus on a particular computer,
either by pressing P or with a left click of the mouse.
• To exit Auto Scan mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
