Auto Scan Mode:
The Master View CS-114's Auto Scan feature automatically switches among all the
active CPU Ports of all the Master View units in the installation at regular intervals, so
that you can monitor their activity without having to take the trouble of switching
yourself. The amount of time it dwells on each port is determined with segments 1
and 2 of the DIP Switch located at the left of the Master View CS-114's rear panel (see
the table in the Appendix for setting details). To invoke Auto Scan Mode, key in the
following Hot Key combination:
1.Press and simultaneously release Alt+Ctrl+Shift
2.Press 0 (zero)
3.Press [Enter]
Once scanning begins, it continues until you press the [Spacebar] to exit Auto Scan
Mode. The port that was currently active at the time scanning stopped remains
active.
Note: While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, none of the other keyboard keys will function.
You must exit Auto Scan Mode by pressing the [Spacebar] in order to use the
console for anything else.
Last/Next Mode:
The Last/Next feature enables you to quickly switch among computers in order to
monitor them manually, instead of using Auto Scan Mode. This method lets you dwell
on a particular port for as long or as little as you like - as opposed to Auto Scan Mode,
which switches after a fixed interval. To invoke Last/Next Mode, key in the following
Hot Key combination:
1.Press and simultaneously release Alt+Ctrl+Shift
2.Press 9
3.Press [Enter]
Once Last/Next Mode is active pressing the left Shift key (LShift), switches to the
previous computer (from the currently active one); pressing RShift switches to the
next computer in the installation.
Note: While Last/Next Mode is in effect, none of the other keyboard keys will function.
You must exit Last/Next Mode by pressing the [Spacebar] in order to use the
console for anything else.
