Chapter 4. OSD Operation

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
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.
