Programming a global keyboard macro
If you require a key sequence that is not pre-programmed into the DS appliance/DSR switch, you
may add a Global Macro by performing the following steps.
To add a Global Macro:
1. From the DSView management software window, select Options - Keyboard Macros.
- or -
Click the Keyboard Macros toolbar icon.
2. The Keyboard Macro Configuration dialog box will appear.
3. Click on the Add button in the upper right-hand corner.
4. The Add Keyboard Macro dialog box will appear.
5. Enter a unique description for the Global Macro in the Macro Description field.
6. In the Double-click for Key Press list, double-click the first keystroke of your macro. This will
move the keystroke to the Double-click for Key Release list. Keystrokes may be removed from
the list by clicking the Remove button below the list.
7. If this key needs to be released before the next keystroke is entered, double-click the keystroke
in the Double-click for Key Release list to move it to the Macro Created list. If not, leave this
key in the Double-click for Key Release list at this time. Repeat this step with your next key-
stroke. When you have no further keystrokes, proceed to step 7.
8. Now, double-click on the remaining commands, if any, under the Double-click for Key Release
list in the order in which you’d like them released to move them to the Macro Created list. The
Macro Created list will now show the key sequence in the exact order that it will be performed
by the system. There should be no keys remaining in the Double-click for Key Release list.
Macros may be removed from the list by clicking the Remove button below the list. The order
of created macros may be changed by selecting a macro and clicking the Up Arrow to move the
macro up one level or the Down Arrow to move the macro down one level.
9. Click the OK button to save the Global Macro to the DSAuth Server and any defined
backup servers.
The macro will now appear in the macro list and also in the macro commands on every Node
Manager window when Tools - Keyboard - Global Macros is selected in the DSView management
software window.
