Auto Scanning
The Auto Scan feature automatically cycles the KVM focus through the
computer ports at regular intervals. This allows you to monitor the computer
activity without having to switch from port to port manually. Although the
video focus switches from port to port, the keyboard, mouse, and USB focus
do not switch. They stay with the port they were on when Auto Scanning
started.
The table below describes the actions of each hotkey. First invoke HSM then
enter the hotkey.
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are
suspended – only Auto Scan Mode keystrokes and mouse clicks can be input.
You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain normal control of the
console.
Auto Scanning - Display Modes
Auto scan can be invoked with Full Screen, PiP Dual and PiP Triple modes. To
use auto scan with PiP Triple enable Scan for a channel within the OSD menu
(see Configuring Display Modes, page 48). When you start auto scan with PiP
Dual or PiP Triple one of the secondary windows (channels) is used to auto
scan two or three computers.
Auto Scan mode does not work with Quad View or PiP Quad as these modes
already display all computers on the screen. (see Display Modes, page 20).
Hotkey Action
[A] [Enter] Invokes Auto Scan. The KVM focus cycles from port to port
at 5 second intervals. This is the Default setting.
[A] [n] [Enter] The KVM focus cycles from port to port at n second intervals.
Note: The n stands for the number of seconds that the
CM1164 should dwell on a port before moving on to the next.
Replace the n with a number between 1 and 99 when
entering this hotkey combination.
