AutoscanningThe.AdderView.CATx.provides.an.autoscan.mode.that.switches.between.the.connected.computers.in.sequence..This.mode.is.useful.to.allow.users.and.administrators.to.sample.activity.among.the.connected.machines..Three.scanning.modes.are.provided:•. Scan list.–.Only.computers.declared.within.an.autoscan.list.will.be.viewed..Computers.connected.to.cascaded.switches.can.be.included.in.the.autoscan.list.•. Active PCs.–.Only.computer.ports.where.an.active.computer.is.detected.will.be.viewed..This.mode.avoids.blank.screens.from.being.displayed.and.helps.to.prevent.the.viewing.monitor.from.entering.a.power-down.state.on.every.scan.cycle..Computers.connected.to.cascaded.switches.will.not.be.viewed.in.this.mode.•. All PCs.–.This.mode.visits,.in.turn,.each.computer.that.is.connected.directly.to.the.AdderView.CATx..This.mode.should.be.used.with.care.due.to.the.reasons.given.in.the.warning.below..Computers.connected.to.cascaded.switches.will.not.be.viewed.in.this.mode.The.scanning.mode.is.a.global.setting.and.hence.will.be.the.one.viewed.by.any.user.who.selects. . . .on.their.keyboard..Note,.however,.that.users.will.only.see.the.scanned.computers.to.which.they.have.access.rights..Hence,.if.two.users.(with.various.access.rights).simultaneously.view.an.autoscan,.they.will.see.differing.results.depending.upon.their.respective.permissions.WARNING: Many monitors are fitted with automatic power savingrelays that switch off after a few seconds when connected to an inactivecomputer. If you are using such a monitor, do not set the AdderViewCATx to the scan ‘ALL PCs’ mode. Continual switching on and off ofthe monitor’s relay will eventually damage the monitor. If using such amonitor in conjunction with the ‘Scan List’ option, ensure that all selectedcomputers are active.There.are.up.to.three.steps.that.need.to.be.configured.to.use.autoscanning.•.
