Chapter 4. OSD Operation
45
F7: SCAN
This function allows you to automatically switch among the available
computers at regular intervals so that you can monitor their activity without
having 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 37).
The amount of time that the focus stays on each port is set with the Scan
Duration setting under the F3: SET function (see page 36).
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 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:, page 50 for details.
To stop scanning and stay at a particular location, press the [Spacebar] or
[Esc] to exit Auto Scan Mode. 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. Simply
wait—after the Scan Duration time is up, the Scan function will move on
to the next port.
Note: 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. 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] to deactivate the OSD when you are at the main screen.
With this function you must log in all over 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 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.
