macro groups from which you may select one group or all defined groups. The macros in the
selected group(s) are then available for use during subsequent Telnet/SSH applet sessions with that
device/port.
After defining a macro or a macro group, you may edit or delete it at any time. When you delete a
macro or macro group, you are prompted for confirmation. When you change a macro group name,
each macro belonging to the changed macro group is updated, but the change is not visible until the
next Telnet/SSH applet session is established. When you delete a macro group, you delete only its
name - the individual macros in the group are not affected.
To create a macro:
1. Select Macros - Configure - Macros from the menu bar. The Configure Macros dialog
box appears.
2. Click the Create button. The Configure Macros dialog box expands to display an Edit
Macro area.
3. In the Macro Name field, Type a 1-64 character name for the macro.
4. To define a hotkey for the macro, choose one from the Key list. To add a modifier to the
hotkey, check the Control, Shift or Alt boxes.
5. By default, the Include in Menu box is checked, indicating the macro will appear in the Macros
menu. If you do not wish to include the macro in the Macros menu, uncheck this box. In this
case, if the macro definition includes a hotkey, you will still be able to use the hotkey to run the
macro, even if the macro’s name does not appear in the Macros menu.
6. Type the macro string in the Keystrokes box. For non-printing and special character code
sequences, use the following escape sequences:
New line: \n
Carriage return: \r
Form feed: \f
Horizontal tab: \t
Backspace: \b
Delay character (500 ms): \d
Hexadecimal code sequence: \
Øx<NN>, where <NN> is the hexadecimal byte. For example,
the
Ctrl-D character sequence may be sent by using 0x04.
Octal code sequence: \
Ø<NNN>, where <NNN> is the octal byte. For example, the Ctrl-D
character sequence may be sent by using 0004.
7. From the Control Code drop-down menu, select the sequence you wish to invoke with the
selected characters.
8. In the Access Rights area, specify whether you wish for the macro to be a Global Macro (avail-
able to all DSView users) or a Personal Macro (available only to the current DSView user).
NOTE: You must have DSView Administrator privileges to use the Access Rights area.
