CHAPTER 5 Channel Scanning Contents Choosing a Scanning Method . 34 Chapter 5: Channel Scanning 31 Channel Scanning Choosing a Scanning Method SwitchView OSD's scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan, your computer channels without intervention. When keyboard activity is detected, scanning is suspended until all keyboard activity stops. The length of time each channel remains on the screen, or dwell time, is configurable and can be changed at any time. There are two ways to scan through the channels in your SwitchView OSD system, either sequentially or alphanumerically. Scanning sequentially allows you to view each of your active channels in the order that they are attached to the SwitchView OSD. The amount of time each channel remains on the screen, or dwell time, is configurable and is the same for all channels. Scanning alphanumerically allows you to scan all your channels in alphanumeric order according to the channel list in the main OSD Window. With this scan method, you can adjust the dwell time for each channel or omit a channel from the scan sequence completely. [. . . ] If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer, the SwitchView OSD and the monitor are on the same phase. Avocent warranties do not apply to damage resulting from user supplied cable. Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Avocent product configuration.
