Default: Disabled
Hotkey Prefix The prefix that a user types to lock a serial port or redraw the Menu.
Data Range:
z ^a l—(Lowercase L) Locks the serial port until the user unlocks it. The
user is prompted for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and
locks the serial port. Next, the user must retype the password to unlock the
serial port.
z ^r—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may
not be redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it
properly. This is always
Ctrl R, regardless of the Hotkey Prefix.
You can use the
Hotkey Prefix key to lock a serial port only when the Allow
Port Locking
parameter is enabled.
Default: Hex 01 (Ctrl-a, ^a)
