Get Write Access
Only Administrators and Operators can get write access. The user with
Write Access can send commands to the target device. Write Access
can be transferred among users working in the Raritan Serial Console
via the Get Write Access command.
To enable Write Access, choose Emulator > Click Get Write Access.
 You now have Write Access to the target device.
 When another user assumes Write Access from you:
 The RSC displays a red block icon before Write Access in the
status bar.
 A message appears to the user who currently has Write Access,
alerting that user that another user has taken over access to the
console.
Get Write Lock
Write lock will prevent other users from taking the write access while you
are using it.
1. To get write lock, choose Emulator > Get Write Lock.
2. If Get Write Lock is not available, a request rejected message
appears.
Write Unlock
To get Write Unlock, choose Emulator > Write Unlock.
Send Break
Some target systems such as Sun Solaris servers require the
transmission of a null character (Break) to generate the OK prompt. This
is equivalent to issuing a STOP-A from the Sun keyboard.
 Only users with Administrator privileges can send a break.
 Users who are Observers cannot send a break.
To send an intentional “break” to a Sun Solaris server:
1. Verify that you have Write Access. If not, follow the instructions in the
previous section to obtain write access.
2. Choose Emulator > Send Break. A Send Break Ack
(Acknowledgement) message appears.
3. Click OK.
