Telnet window menus and commands

Serial DS appliances and target devices are operated through a Telnet

window. When you are operating a DS appliance or target device using the

DS/DSR appliance, you will be provided with several optional commands.

Telnet menu

Exit

This command will exit the Telnet Client and return users to the DSView

Client menu. 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 Client 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 session up

to the current point. While the DS user is in history mode, all new data is buff-

ered 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.
