Marks a computer to be scanned by switching the eye mark on or o. First, use the

<UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to highlight the device, then press <F2> to switch its

the password. If you want to access the locked device temporarily, simply highlight it

and press <ENTER>. Enter the password and you can access the device. The device is

automatically re-locked once you switch to another device. During Scan mode, OSD

Available options will be shown in the middle of the screen. To select an option, use

the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys then press <ENTER> to select the options. You can
