Macros
NOTE: Three additional kinds of macros are available in the DSView software. Exit Macros are created within the
DSView 3.0 Explorer for use by and reside on DSR switches. Global Macros and Personal Macros are created
using the Video Viewer window and are used with KVM sessions with target devices attached to DSR switches.
None of these macros may be used or are compatible with a Telnet/SSH applet.
The DSView software Telnet/SSH applet has a macro function that allows you to create and use
macros during Telnet/SSH applet sessions. A macro comprises a series of keystrokes that you
define. Additionally, you may specify a hotkey in the macro’s definition. When you define a macro
and enable its inclusion in the Macros menu, you may execute the macro during a Telnet/SSH
applet session either by selecting it from the Macros menu or by pressing the defined hotkey on
your keyboard.
You may also define one or more Global Macro or Personal Macro groups, then add macros to the
groups. Personal Macro groups may be created by any DSView user and are only available for use
on the target device on which they are created. Global Macros may only be created by a DSView
Administrator and are available for use by any DSView user on the DSView system.
A macro may belong to more than one macro group or belong to both Personal and Global Macro
groups; however, a macro does not have to belong to a macro group. Selecting Macros - Configure
- Groups takes you to the Configure Macro Groups dialog box which contains a list of defined
