upper left corner, but users can choose to have it appear anywhere on the screen. Use the mouse or

Determines how long the focus dwells on each port as it cycles through the selected ports in Auto Scan
mode (see F7: SCAN). Key in a value from 1–255 seconds, then press [Enter]. Default is 5 seconds; a
setting of 0 disables the SCAN function.
