5.3 Autoscanning
When enabled, the autoscan mode switches between the connected computers in sequence. This is useful to allow you to sample
activity among the connected computers.
activity among the connected computers.
Two scanning modes are available:
• Cycle all ports – This mode visits, in turn, to each connected computer. This mode should be used with care due to the reasons
given in the warning below. To prepare for this autoscan mode, choose
U 7 within the configuration menu.
• Cycle only active ports – Only computer ports where an active computer is detected will be viewed. This mode avoids blank
screens from being displayed and helps to prevent the viewing monitor from entering a power-down state on every scan cycle.
Additionally, when this mode is selected, whenever you use either the mouse buttons or hot keys + tab to change channels,
only computers that are active will be visited. To prepare for this autoscan mode, choose
U 8 within the configuration menu.
WARNING: Many monitors are fitted with automatic power saving relays that switch off after a few seconds when
connected to an inactive computer. If you are using such a monitor, do not use the ‘Cycle all ports’ mode.
Continual switching on and off of the monitor’s relay will eventually damage the monitor.
