Advanced switching functions
In addition to accessing a computer directly (see page 14), the KVM switch provides
three special ways of switching: between computers
 Autoscan:
The
Autoscan
function accesses all computers in sequence.

Autoskip: The Autoskip function accesses the next active computer.
 Stepscan:
If the
Stepscan
mode is enabled, you can access the previous or next com-
puter by pressing a key.
Autoaccessing computers (Autoscan)
The Autoscan function accesses all computers in sequence (see page 36).
After each switching, an information display at the moni-
tor shows the name of the active computer, the name of
the KVM switch and the information SCAN .
NOTE: Define the computers you want to include when performing the aforemen-
tioned functions (see page 32).
NOTE: You can change the time span between the switchings of the
Autoscan
or
Autoskip
function (see page 36).
NOTE: If the
Autoscan
function is enabled, any keyboard and mouse inputs are
transmitted to the active computer.
During your inputs, the
Autoscan
function pauses and continues after you finish
your inputs.
NOTE: In the default configuration of the KVM switch, the Autoscan function
accesses all connected computers.
You can change this setting as described in the paragraph
Selecting computers to per-
form advanced switching functions on page 35.
