ATLAS 800 Series System Manual Navigating the Terminal Menus

Configuration Keystrokes

Getting Help

The bottom line of the terminal menu window contains context-sensitive help information. When the

cursor is positioned over a set of configuration items, a help message displays (when available) providing a

description of the item. When more detailed help is available for a particular item, ^A displays at the

bottom of the window. At this point, if you press the key combination CTRL+A, a pop-up help screen

displays with information about the item. Press the key combination CTRL+Z to activate a help screen that

displays the available keystrokes you can use to navigate the terminal menu.

To do this... Press this key...

Restore factory default settings.

This setting restores the factory defaults based on the location of the cursor. If the

cursor is on a module line (in the

MODULES menu), then only the selected module

is updated to factory defaults.

Copy selected items to the clipboard.

The amount of information you can copy depends on the cursor location when you

press C:

If the cursor is over an editable field, only that item is copied.

If the cursor is over the index number of a list, then all of the items in the row of

the list are copied. For example, if the cursor is over the

SLOT # field in the

MODULES screen, all of the information associated with the slot is copied.

Paste the item stored in the clipboard, if the information is compatible.

You must confirm all pastes, except those to a single editable field.

Increment the value of certain types of fields by one when you paste information

into those fields.

Decrement the value of certain types of fields by one when you paste information

into those fields.

Insert a new list item.

For example, add a new item to the

DEDICATED MAP connection list by pressing I

while the cursor is over the index number.

Delete a list item.

For example, delete an item from the

DEDICATED MAP connection list by pressing

D while the index number is active.
