Once scanning is initiated, the AMX switch will cycle through the selected target devices in
alphabetical order.
If the user has full access rights to the current target device and the AMX user station detects
keyboard or mouse activity, scanning is suspended. This allows the user to work with the target
device. When mouse and keyboard activity stops, scanning resumes with the next channel in
sequence. If the user has view only access rights to the current target device, scanning will not be
suspended if the user types on the keyboard or moves the mouse.

changed at any time through the User tab. Default dwell time is three seconds.
