Chapter 3. Hotkey Operation

Auto Scanning

Auto Scan automatically switches among all the active KVM ports that are

accessible to the currently logged on user at regular intervals, so that he can

monitor their activity automatically. (See Scan/Skip Mode of the OSD F3 SET

function, page 27 for information regarding accessible ports).

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 27). You can change

the scan interval before activating Hotkey Auto Scanning, if you wish, with the

following Hotkey combination:

1. Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [NumLock] + [*] or [NumLock] + [-]

combination

2. Key in [T] [n]

Where [T] is the letter T, and [n] is a number from 1–255 that represents

the number of seconds for the dwell time.

The letter T, and the numbers display on the Command Line as you key

them in. If you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong

number.

3. Press [Enter]

After you press [Enter], you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and are

ready to invoke Auto Scanning.

Invoking Auto Scan:

To start Auto Scanning, key in the following Hotkey combination:

1. Invoke Hotkey Mode with the [NumLock] + [*] or [NumLock] + [-]

combination

2. Press [A]. After you press A, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and

enter Auto Scan Mode.

 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.
