Auto Scan feature (see F7 SCAN, page 32), in which all the ports
currently selected for Quick View scanning (see SET QUICK VIEW

computer switching procedure to provide instant access to any computer on the

computer from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select them by
pressing Port Selection switches. Hotkey operation is discussed in detail
