9. KVM Operation
F7: SCAN
Clicking the F7 field or pressing [F7] invokes Auto Scan mode. This function allows you to switch automatically among the
available computers at regular intervals so you can monitor their activity without manual switching.
• The selection of computers to be included for auto-scanning is made with the Scan-Skip mode setting under the F3: SET
function.
• The amount of time each port displays for is set with the Scan Duration setting under the F3: SET function. To stop at a
particular location, press the [Spacebar] to stop scanning.
• If the scanning stops on an empty port or one where the computer is attached but 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 normally. You must exit Auto Scan mode in order to regain
control of the console.
• While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning in order to keep the focus on a particular computer either by
pressing P, or with a left-click of the mouse. See Invoking Auto Scan for details.
• To exit Auto Scan mode, press the [Spacebar] or [Esc].
F8: 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] when you are at the main screen 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.
Notes:
1. When you reenter the OSD after logging out, the screen stays blank except for the OSD main screen. You must input your username and
password 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.
