Invoking Auto Scan
To start Auto Scanning, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode (see p. 123).
2. Press [A].
After you press A, you automatically exit Hotkey mode, and enter Auto
Scan mode, and Auto Scanning begins.
 While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning in order
to keep the focus on a particular KVM port either by pressing P or with
a left-click of the mouse. During the time that Auto Scanning is
paused, the command line displays: AUTOSCAN PAUSED
Pausing and exiting are the two ways to stop scanning and keep the
focus on a particular KVM port. If you intend to continue scanning
after a brief stop, pausing is more convenient than exiting Auto Scan
mode completely.
This is because when you resume scanning after pausing, you start
from where you left off. On the other hand, if you exit and then restart
Auto Scan mode, you start over from the very first KVM port on the
installation.
To resume Auto Scanning after you pause, press any key or left-click.
Scanning continues from where it left off.
 While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can press the arrow keys to skip
through the OSD list:
After the amount of time set with the SCAN INTERVAL elapses, Auto
Scan mode will switch to the next KVM port.
When you skip, you only skip to the previous or next available KVM
port that is in the Auto Scan mode selection (see p. 108).
 While Auto Scan mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse
functions are suspended
— only Auto Scan mode compliant keystrokes
