Chapter 11. Port Operation

Pausing Auto Scan
While you are in Auto Scan Mode, you can pause the scanning in order to keep
the focus on a particular server by pressing P. During the time that Auto
Scanning is paused, the S in front of the Port ID blinks On and Off.
Pausing when you want to keep the focus on a particular server can be 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 were to exit and
then restart Auto Scan Mode, the scanning would start over from the very first
server on the installation.
To Resume Auto Scanning after a pause, press any key except [Esc] or the
[Spacebar]. Scanning continues from where it left off.
Exiting Auto Scan
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard functions are
suspended. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain normal control
of the keyboard. To exit Auto Scan Mode press [Esc] or the [Spacebar]. Auto
Scanning stops when you exit Auto Scan Mode.
Skip Mode
Skip Mode allows you to switch ports in order to monitor the servers manually.
You can dwell on a particular port for as long or as little as you like - as
opposed to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval.
The Skip Mode hotkeys are the four Arrow keys. Their operation is explained
in the table below:
Arrow Action

→
Skips from the current port to the first accessible port that comes after it.
↑
Skips from the current port to the very first accessible port on the
installation.
↓
Skips from the current port to the very last accessible port on the
installation.
