F7 Scan (SCAN)
Invoke the Auto Scan Mode by clicking the F7 field or pressing [F7]. This function allows you automatical-
ly
cycle through available computers at regular intervals so that you can monitor their activity without hav-
ing to take the trouble of switching yourself.
• The selection of computers to be included for Auto Scanning is made with the Scan/Skip Mode setting
under the F3 SET function (see page 17).
• The amount of time that each Port displays for is set with the Scan Duration setting under the F3 SET
function (see page 17). When you want to stop at a particular location, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc]
to stop scanning.
• If the scanning stops on an empty port, or one where the computer is attached but is powered Off, the
monitor screen will be blank, and the mouse and keyboard will have no effect. After the Scan Duration
time is up, the Scan function will move on to the next port.
• As each computer is accessed, an S appears in front of the Port ID display to indicate that it is being
accessed under Auto Scan Mode.
• While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, the console will not function. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in
order to regain control of the console.
• While in Auto Scan Mode, the scanning can be paused in order to keep the focus on a particular computer
either by pressing P, or with a left click of the mouse.
• To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
F8 Log Out (LOUT)
Clicking the F8 field or pressing [F8] logs you out of OSD control of the computers, and blanks the
Console screen. This is different from simply pressing [Esc] to deactivate the OSD. With this function you
must log in again to regain access to the OSD, whereas with [Esc] all you have to do to reenter the OSD
is tap the OSD Hotkey.
Note: 1. When you reenter the OSD after logging out, the screen stays blank except for the OSD Main Menu. You must input your pass-
word before you can continue.
2. If you reenter the OSD after logging out, and immediately use [Esc] to deactivate the OSD without having selected a port from
the OSD menu, a Null Port message displays on the screen.The OSD Hotkey will bring up the Main OSD Screen.
