Auto Scanning
The GCS1722 / GCS1724’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
are 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 CS82U / CS84U 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
Notes:
1. 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 inputted. You must exit Auto Scan Mode in order to regain normal
control of the console.
2. Although the video focus switches from port to port, the keyboard and mouse do not switch. They stay at the port
they were on when Auto Scanning started.
3. To exit Auto Scan Mode, press the Esc key or the Spacebar.
