Your AutoView may be operated in either a non-secure (no password required) or
secure (password required) mode. All units ship defaulted to the non-secure mode.
For more information on security, see Setting User Station Security in this chapter.
Front panel LEDs and push-buttons
Once the green LED over a channel lights, the attached server can be selected
via the On-Screen Display menu or, if you are in non-secure mode, channel
push-buttons, the Scan button or keyboard hotkey sequence. The amber LED
will light at the active computer.
The Scan push-button has one LED over it. Press the button momentarily to
switch to the next computer in sequence. The LED will turn amber briefly
during the channel switch. Press and hold the button for one second to initiate
channel scanning. The LED will turn green while you are in scan mode.
The status LED lights red if an internal failure occurs. The LED will blink
green for several seconds during power up while the system performs a
self-diagnostic. After initialization, the LED remains green during normal
operation and blinks only when you are in Command Mode.
