6. Hotkeys
6.8 Starting Auto Scan
To start Auto Scanning, enter the following Hotkey combination:
1) Invoke Hotkey Mode with the
[Num Lock]
+
[-]
combination
2) Key in
[A]
. After you press
A
, you automatically exit Hotkey Mode and enter Auto Scan Mode.
3) An autoscan can be paused at any time (see below).
4) To exit Auto Scan Mode, press
[Esc]
or
[Spacebar]
.
Note:
While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended - only Auto
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.
6.9 Pausing in Auto Scan
While in Auto Scan Mode, the scan can be paused in order to keep the focus on a particular
computer either by pressing
P
or with a left click of the mouse. During the time that Auto
Scanning is paused, the Command Line displays:
Auto Scan: Paused
.
In many cases
Pausing
is more convenient than
Exiting
the Auto Scan Mode because when you
resume scanning while in
Pause
, you start from where you left off. If you
Exited
and restarted,
scanning would start from the very first computer on the installation.
To resume Auto Scanning, press any key or left click. Scanning continues from where it left off.

This feature allows you to manually sequence between computers in order to monitor them. This
manual version of the Auto Scan mode lets you dwell on a particular port for as long as you like.

1) Invoke Hotkey Mode with the
[Num Lock]
+
[-]
combination
2) Key in
[Arrow]
refers to any of the arrow keys on the keyboard. After you press
[Arrow]
, you
automatically exit Hotkey Mode, and enter Skip Mode where you can switch ports as follows:

g

1. Once Skip Mode has been invoked, until you exit, you can keep on skipping simply by pressing an
Arrow key. You don’t have to use the
[Num Lock]
+
[-]
combination again.
2. While Skip Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended—only Skip
Mode compliant keystrokes can be input. You must exit Skip Mode in order to regain normal control of
the console.
