scanning is suspended until all keyboard activity stops. Scanning then resumes
with the next channel in sequence. The length of time each channel remains on
the screen, or dwell time, is configurable and can be changed at any time.
Scanning options
You can scan through the channels in your AutoView system either by name,
address or, on the AutoView 400, by list.
NOTE: The AutoView only scans the computers that are in your OSD list.
• Scanning by address allows you to view each of your active channels in
the order that they are attached to the AutoView.
• Scanning by name allows you to scan channels in alphanumeric order
according to the Administrator Channel List.
• Scanning by list (AutoView 400 only) allows you to create a customized
scanning order for the switch to follow. Any active port in the system can
be scanned in any order, as many times as desired.
With all scan methods, you can adjust the dwell time for each channel or omit
a channel from the scan sequence completely. Choose whichever method is
most appropriate for your configuration.
To scan using the scan button:
1. Press and hold the Scan push-button on the front of the AutoView unit
until the Scan LED lights green.
2. Scanning will be halted if a channel is selected, or if the Scan push-button
is pressed again.
