Auto Scan Mode
Auto Scan automatically switches, at regular intervals, among all the KVM
ports that have been set as accessible under Scan–Skip Mode, so that their
activity can be monitored automatically. See Scan–Skip Mode on page 37 for
more information.
Invoking Auto Scan:
To start Auto Scan, key in the following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke hotkey mode with the [Num Lock] + [-] or [Ctrl] + [F12]
combination.
2. Press [A]. After you press A, then [Enter], 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.
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.
