Auto Scan Mode
Auto Scan Mode automatically switches among all the KVM ports that have
been set as accessible under Scan–Skip Mode at regular intervals, so that their
activity cane be monitored automatically. (See SCAN–SKIP MODE, page 33.)
To start Auto Scan Mode, do the following:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see page 41).
2. Press [A].
After you press A, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode; enter Auto Scan
Mode; and Auto Scanning begins.
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. During the time that auto scanning is paused,
the command line displays: Auto Scan: Paused.
Pausing when you want to keep the focus on a particular computer is
more convenient than exiting Auto Scan Mode because when you
resume scanning, you start from where you left off. If, on the other
hand, you exited and restarted, scanning would start over from the very
first computer on the installation.
To resume auto scanning, press any key or left-click. Scanning
continues from where it left off.
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse
functions are suspended – only Auto Scan Mode compliant keystrokes
and mouse clicks can be input. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order
to regain normal control of the console.
3. To exit Auto Scan Mode press [Esc] or [Spacebar]. Auto scanning stops
when you exit Auto Scan Mode.
