Performing FLASH upgrades
FLASH upgrading allows you to update the code that runs your AutoView 424
and keep it current with the latest firmware revisions. For more information,
see Appendix A.
Scanning your AutoView System
The AutoView 424 scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or
scan, your computer channels without intervention. When keyboard activity is
detected, scanning is suspended until all keyboard activity stops. Scanning then
resumes with the next channel in sequence. The length of time each channel
remains on the screen, or dwell time, is configurable and can be changed at
any time.
