Auto Scan allows you to switch between ports at regular intervals without having to
manually switch between them. This hotkey command initiates an Auto Scan using the Scan
DurationenteredintotheOSD.(Seepage20fordetails.)Bydefault,theScan Duration
is set at 5 second intervals. When scanning, only the KVMfocusistransferredtothenext
computer. The USB and Audio focus remain on the same computers they were on when
Auto Scan began. Also, the only computers that are accessed during an Auto Scan are those
that are both connected and powered-on. To initiate an Auto Scan, perform the following
command:
1. Activate Hotkey Setting Mode using the aforementioned command.
