Scan Screen
In scan mode, the console switch automatically switches from port to port (computer
to computer). The user can scan the entire system sequentially or designate a custom
scan pattern by specifying computers and durations.
If the user has a Dual Console 8-Port console switch, scan behavior is influenced by
multiple users and tiered console switches. A multiuser console switch in the primary
position and any single-user console switch in the secondary position can create
situations that change the scan pattern.
