Chapter 5. Host Connectivity
707021-001
The Host Connection Menu is displayed when a display powers on, if “Connect Menu” was
chosen as the “Host Assignment At Power On” on the Device Profile Assignments panel during
configuration. From the Host Connection Menu, you may select the desired Connection Type
by entering the Item number in the “Select Item” field and pressing the enter key.
Once a Connection Type is chosen, the appropriate connect panel will be displayed. The
following function keys are common to all of the Connect panels. Any additional key
functionality will be discussed with the particular connection type in the sections which follow:
• 1–Menu – Return to the Host Connection Menu.
• 2–Queue – This function key is available if you attempt to connect to a host resource which
is unavailable. Pressing this function key queues this session to connect to the host resource
in the “Connect to:” field on the particular connect panel. When the resource becomes
available, the session will automatically be connected.
• 4–Dequeue – This function key is available if you previously queued as session to connect
to a host resource. Pressing this function key removes the queued entry.
• 6–Reconnect – Pressing this function key attempts to reestablish a connection to the host
previously connected to.
• 9–Refresh – Pressing this function key re-displays the Connection panel with the current
values.
