Auto Scanning
The CM1164’s Auto Scan feature automatically cycles the KVM focus
through the computer ports at regular intervals. This allows you to monitor the
computer activity without having to take the trouble of switching from port to
port manually. Although the video focus switches from port to port, the
keyboard, mouse, and USB focus do not switch. They stay at the port they were
on when Auto Scanning started. See the table below for details.
When you use the port switching hotkey or HSM, the mouse cursor must be in
the current computer display.
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.
Hotkey Action
[Num Lock] [-] [A]
[Enter]
Invokes Auto Scan. The KVM focus cycles from port to port
at 5 second intervals. This is the Default setting.
[Num Lock] [-] [A] [n]
[Enter]
The KVM focus cycles from port to port at n second intervals.
Note: The n stands for the number of seconds that the
CM1164 should dwell on a port before moving on to the next.
Replace the n with a number between 1 and 99 when
entering this hotkey combination.
