Auto Scanning
Auto Scanning allows the automatic monitoring of computer activity instead of
having to switch manually. Invoking Auto Scan Mode causes the KL1116 to
switch the KVM focus among all the active KVM Ports that are accessible to
the currently logged on user at regular intervals. (See SCAN/SKIP MODE,
page 33, for information regarding accessible ports.)
Setting the Scan Interval
The amount of time Auto Scan dwells on each port is set with the Scan
Duration setting of the OSD F3 SET function (see page 33). You can change
the scan interval before activating Hotkey Auto Scanning, if you wish, with the
following Hotkey combination:
1. Invoke HKM (see page 41).
2. Key in [T] [n]
Where [T] is the letter T, and [n] is a number from 1–255 that represents
the number of seconds the system dwells on a port before going on to the
next.
The letter T and the numbers display on the Command Line as you key
them in. If you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong
number.
3. Press [Enter]
After you press Enter, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and are ready
to invoke Auto Scanning.
