COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
In addition to the Switch Consoles feature, Insight Manager offers enhanced
keyboard and terminal support. As a result, the function keys (F1-F12) and Alt
sequences can be performed on the terminal console, without having to use
attention sequences. In addition, the Insight Manager terminal window
dynamically resizes itself to match the screen size of the server console.
Windows NT, for example, changes between 25-line and 50-line mode during
its boot process.
Note that your ability to control the server is not dependent upon any special
software running on the server, nor it is restricted to when the managed server
is in a particular state (like running BIOS). This allows you to inspect and
control the server between operating system transitions or when the server is
completely off line.
Changing the Default Attention Key
The attention key is important since it must be used to exit from remote console
mode and return to the Main Menu. Be sure to note the currently defined
attention key before entering Remote Console mode. Figure 4-3 illustrates the
default attention key setting of Ctrl + A.
The Change Attention Key menu option lets you modify the key that is used to
generate unavailable key sequences and special command sequences from
standard ANSI terminal emulation programs.
