Telnet application window menus and commands
Serial DS appliances and target devices are operated through a Telnet application window. When
you are operating a DS appliance or target device using the DS appliance, you will be provided
with several optional commands.
Telnet application menu
Exit
This command will exit the Telnet application Client interface and return users to the DSView
management software window. If the option to Prompt on Exit (see the Preferences section of this
appendix) is enabled and a connection is active, the DS user will be prompted to confirm the exit. If
no connection is active, the DSView management software window will exit without a prompt.
View menu
History
When this menu option is checked, the DS user will be switched to History mode. Here the DS user
may scroll through a history of the Telnet application session up to the current point. While the DS
user is in History mode, all new data is buffered and may be viewed by scrolling to the end of the
history. DS users may exit History mode at any time by pressing the
Esc key.
Go to Beginning
This command moves the cursor to the beginning of the history file.
Previous Page
This command moves the cursor back one page in the history file.
Next Page
This command moves the cursor forward one page in the history file.
