the editor makes the task of entering tokens easier and will contribute to the overall
accuracy of the script.
Each line that is to be sent to the switch must begin with a token and end with a line feed
or {Enter}. Additional commands are available to manipulate the switch.
You can enter three types of information into an Observer Telnet switch script:
• Telnet Script Commands (called Tokens)—are special commands pre-programmed
into the script editor. Tokens are entered by clicking the specific token button on the
right side of the script editor dialog. Note that tokens can be entered by hand—the
only benefit of the script editor is to save on errors in typing the specific token text.
• Script Keys—simulate specific keys that would be sent using a terminal or terminal
emulation program. Note that the sequence sent is that which would be sent from a
VT100/ANSI terminal (e.g., terminal.exe that is included in Windows 2000/XP).
• Simple Keystrokes—letters, numbers, and standard characters. In general, any key
which puts something you can read on the screen. These keystrokes can simply be
typed into your script as you would normally type them into a word processor.
The following sections explain how to enter the different types of information into the
script editor.
Entering Tokens into a Telnet Script
Tokens are entered by placing the cursor in the correct position and then clicking the
specific token button on the right side of the script editor dialog.
Entering Keystrokes into a Script
Keystrokes are entered by placing the cursor in the correct position and then entering the
keystrokes as you would when interfacing the Telnet management application on your
switch.
