NAVIGATING WITH OSCAR
OSCAR Selection Screen
Basic functions such as selecting computers and
checking port/computer status are performed from
the OSCAR Selection screen. The OSCAR Selection
lists all the ports in the system, the associated com-
puter names, and the status of each port. It can be
organized either by port number or by computer
name. (To assign names see in Chapter 4 Assigning
Unique Names to Computers. To change the order in
which the computers are listed, see Changing Menu
Attributes found later in this chapter.) On large sys-
tems, you may need to use the ARROW keys or the
PAGE DOWN key to scroll through the list of ports.
Note
The OSCAR Selection screen above shows the default
screen. Your screen will show the computer names and
port numbers assigned to your system.
To open the OSCAR Selection screen:
l
Press the PRINT SCREEN key.
Because the PRINT SCREEN key is used to
activate the OSCAR menus, you cannot use it to
print a screen in the usual way. To print the
screen, press PRINT SCREEN twice.
Note
If you press PRINT SCREEN and receive the message
”Names out of date,“ press ENTER to update your
user pod. The OSCAR Selection screen appears when
the update is complete. See Assigning Unique Names
to Computers in Chapter 4.
To exit OSCAR:
l
Press ESCAPE.
