Defining exit macros
Since clients are running remotely on PCs, certain commands must be sent to the controlled
target device using keyboard macros. For example, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard
resets the PC running the client rather than resetting the target device. To reset the target
device, a macro is needed. The DSView management software provides numerous sequences
pre-configured for ease of operation.
Three kinds of macros are available: personal, global and exit. Personal macros and global
macros are created using the Video Viewer window. See Macros on page 313.
Exit macros are supported on all KVM over IPswitches.
Exit macros allow software administrators to create a macro that returns a target device to a
known state. They reside on the managed appliances and are executed whenever a DSView
software session is terminated. For example, if a user is connected to a target device and the
user closes the Video Viewer session, an exit macro may be executed that resets the target
device to a known state by logging the user out of the target device session.
Exit macros may be created and maintained by any user with Configure Unit Settings access
rights. Different groups of exit macros may be created for each managed appliance in your
system.
To define exit macros:
1. In a Units View window containing appliances (see Accessing Units View windows on
page 118), click on the appliance name.
2. Click Appliance Settings in the side navigation bar and then click Sessions. The Appliance
Sessions window will open.
3. Click Exit Macros in the side navigation bar. The Appliance Exit Macros window will
open.
4. Click the number of a macro. The Appliance Exit Macro Settings window will open.
5. Enter a unique description for the global macro in the Name field.
