Function Keys
The primary use of the function keys is to display the various screens. In other cases,
however, the operation of a key depends on what screen you are in. For specific
information in these cases, refer to the screen descriptions that follow later in this
section.
Not all the function keys can be used on all screens. A dedicated field of two or three
lines near the bottom of the block-mode screens (at the top of the TACL screen) lists all
the function keys you can use on the current screen.
SF14 Recover Screen Used on the Event Configuration, Event Detail, Last Events,
Network Status Summary, and Status Item Configuration Events
screens, recovers the screen to its last known state.
F15 Help Displays the Help screen and the first page of help information for
the current screen. The Help function key on the TACL screen
displays the purpose of each function key.
SF15 Extras Displays the initial screen of a custom application (if any). Select
an event on an Events screen before pressing SF15 to pass event
information to the custom application.
F16 Return Used on the Event Detail screen, returns to the Events screen
from which you requested detail.
Used on the Status Item and Event Configuration screens, returns
to the invoking screen without making a configuration change.
Used on a DSM/PM screen, returns to the ViewPoint screen you
were using when you invoked DSM/PM.
SF16 Exit On any ViewPoint screen, causes the terminal to exit from
ViewPoint.
Used on a DSM/PM screen, returns to the ViewPoint screen you
were using when you invoked DSM/PM and logs you off of
DSM/PM.
