Chapter 3: Operations 29
Scanning alphanumerically allows you to scan all your channels in
alphanumeric order according to the Administrator Channel List. With this
scan method, you can adjust the dwell time for each channel or omit a channel
from the scan sequence completely.
Choose whichever method is most appropriate for your configuration.
Scanning and Security
In non-secure mode, you may scan your channels either alphanumerically
according to your channel list or sequentially through all attached servers.
Sequential scanning will allow you to pause at every active channel, regardless
of whether that channel has been added to the channel list or not.
In secure mode, you will only scan through channels that appear on the
channel list, regardless of the scanning method chosen.
To set the scanning method:
1. Press the Control key twice to access the Administrator Channel List.
2. Press the Control key twice more to access the Command Menu.
