Auto Scanning
The 4-Port Switch’s Auto Scan feature automatically cycles the KVM focus through the computer ports at regular
intervals. This allows you to monitor the computer activity without having to take the trouble of switching from port to
port manually. See the table below for details.
Hotkey Action
[Scroll Lock] [Scroll
Lock] [A] [Enter] Invokes Auto Scan. The KVM focus cycles from port to port at 5 second intervals. Five
second intervals is the Default setting.
[Scroll Lock] [Scroll
Lock] [A] [Enter] [n] The KVM focus cycles from port to port at n second intervals. Replace the n with a number
between 1 and 4 when entering this hotkey combination to set the number of seconds that
the 4-port switch should dwell on a port before moving on to the next, as follows:
1 = 3 seconds
2 = 5 seconds (default)
3 = 10 seconds
4 = 20 seconds

Scan Mode compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks can be input. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order
to regain normal control of the console.

the port they were on when Auto Scanning started.

Hotkey Setting Mode
Hotkey Setting Mode is used to set up your 4-port switch configuration. All operations begin with invoking Hotkey
Setting Mode (HSM).
Invoking HSM
To invoke HSM do the following:
1. Press and hold down [Num Lock] .
2. Press and release [-] .
3. Release [Num Lock] .
Note:
1. There is an alternate key combination to invoke HSM. See page 18 for details.
2. The minus key must be released within one half second, otherwise Hotkey invocation is canceled.
When HSM is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that HSM is in effect. They
stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit HSM.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks
(described in the sections that follow), can be input.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit hotkey mode. With some operations, you must
exit manually. To exit HSM manually, press the
Esc key, or the Spacebar .
