The Scan dialog box allows the local user to define a custom list of devices to include while in Scan mode
and the number of seconds to display each device. The creation of the Scan list does not start Scan mode.
You must enable Scan mode using the Scan En ab le checkbox on the Com m an d s dialog box. The Scan list
is displayed in the manner set from the M en u dialog box. It can be changed in the S can dialog box to sort
either by name, EID or port by choosing one of the buttons. If a device on the list is u n av ailab le, it is
skipped. Watch mode views a device unless a conflicting network user blocks the path to that device. If a
