Setting a Scan Pattern (9306-900)



Setting a Scan Pattern

The selector switch has a standard scan routine for sequentially connecting each server to the monitor, keyboard and mouse. The scan routine can be configured to scan all or any of the servers in a particular pattern. To create a scan pattern, do the following.
  1.  Press the Print Screen key
  2.  Press F2 key to display the Advanced Menu screen.
  3.  Press the Right Arrow (>) key to move the highlight to the Setup Menu
  4.  Using the Up Arrow (  ) and Down Arrow (  ) keys, move  the highlighting to Scan and press the Enter key. The  Scan Pattern Setup menu appears with the first position or server name highlighted. The  following example screen displays when the port order mode is selected.

          +-------------------------------
          |  Scan Pattern Setup
          |  Port/Sec   Name
          |  6/20      Downtown
          |  5/20      Sales - A
          |  4/10      Sales - B
          |  1/10      Match
          |
          |
          |
          |
          |  F2 for defaults
        If Name order was selected, the Port and Name columns will be reversed.

  5.  Using the keyboard keys, select the port number of the first server  to be included in the scan. Note that the server name, if any is assigned, appears in the far  right column on the menu.
  6.  Press the Tab key or right Arrow (>) key to move the highlighting to the Sec column.  Then, use the keyboard keys to enter a time value, in seconds, for the length of time you want  this server to be connectedto the monitor and keyboard, before switching to the next server in the scan.
  7.  Press the Down Arrow (  ) key to move the highlighting to the next port in the Port column and  repeat step 5.

     To delete unwanted ports from the scan list in the Scan Pattern Setup window, place the highlighting on the top-most  port to be removed and press the Delete key (not the Del key on the numeric keypad).

  8.  When you have finished setting the scan pattern, press the Enter key. Press Esc at any time before pressing Enter  to retain the previous scan pattern.

    Note: Pressing F2 key will return all Port and Sec values to the factory defaults.

  9.  To exit, press Esc
