Macros
NOTE: Macros may not be created, edited, copied or deleted if the DSR Remote Operations software is being used
to connect to the DSR appliance viewing the target device.
Three types of macros are available in the DSView management software. Exit macros are used
by and located on DS1800 digital switches, DSR switches and KVM over IP switches. See
Defining exit macros on page 197.
The other two types, global macros and personal macros, are created and used by the Video
Viewer. Global macros are created and maintained by users with appliance administrator
privileges and are stored on the hub server and any specified spoke servers. See Managed
Appliance Session Settings on page 193.
Global and personal macros may also be created in the Telnet Viewer window. Macros created
using the Telnet Viewer window are not compatible with the Video Viewer and may only be
used with target devices connected to serial console appliances.
Users may create personal macros for their own use. These macros can be accessed on the local
computer using the Video Viewer window. Personal macros may be customized and grouped in
any manner you wish with the exception of being included in a Global Macro group.
