Auto Scanning; Setting The Scan Interval; Invoking Auto Scan - ATEN ALTUSEN KL1508 User Manual

Auto Scanning

Auto Scan automatically switches among all the active KVM ports that are
accessible to the currently logged on User at regular intervals, allowing him to
monitor their activity automatically. (See SCAN/SKIP MODE, page 35.)

Setting the Scan Interval

The amount of time Auto Scan dwells on each port is set with the SCAN
DURATION setting of the OSD F3 SET function (see page 35).

Invoking Auto Scan

To start Auto Scanning, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see page 45).
2. Press [A].
After you press A, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and 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 by pressing P. 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. Scanning continues from where
it left off.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended - only Auto Scan
Mode compliant keystrokes can be input. You must exit Auto Scan Mode
in order to regain normal control of the console.
To exit Auto Scan Mode press [Esc] or [Spacebar]. Auto Scanning stops when
you exit Auto Scan Mode.
