Scan Mode
To start scan mode:
In a Units View window (see Accessing Units View windows on page 118), select two or more
target devices that support KVM connections, then click Scan.
Scan mode will start and the Video Viewer windows will appear in the Thumbnail Viewer. A
series of thumbnail frames appear in the Thumbnail Viewer, each containing a small, scaled,
non-interactive version of a target device screen image.
About scan mode
Scan mode moves from one thumbnail image to the next, logging into a device and displaying
an updated device image for a specified length of time (View Time Per Server), before logging
out of that device and moving on to the next thumbnail image. You may specify a scan delay
between thumbnails (Time Between Servers). During the delay, you will see the last thumbnail
image for all devices in the scan sequence, though you won’t be logged into any devices.
When you first launch the Thumbnail Viewer, each frame will be filled with a white
background until a device image is displayed. An indicator light at the bottom of each frame
displays the device status. The default thumbnail size is based on the number of devices in the
scan list.
Scan mode has a lower priority than an active connection. If you or another user are connected
to a device, that device will be skipped in the scan sequence, and scan mode will proceed to
the next device unless the Shared Connections Automatically option has been selected, in
which case target devices may be shared and will not be skipped in the scan sequence. No
login error messages will appear. After your interactive session is closed, the thumbnail will be
included in the scan sequence again.
