If a user desires to interact directly with a server rather than only monitor its output, then they must enter direct mode. To enter direct mode using the DIRECT command, the user must first select a device port as outlined in Section 7.8, Selecting a Server. Then at the prompt, the user must use the command DIRECT or select the command ENTER DIRECT MODE from the pull- down menu. The user may also select a device port and enter direct mode in one step by using the DISELECT command or selecting DIR CONNECT TO SERVER from the pull-down menu. The DISELECT command must have either the device port number or the name assigned to the port as the command qualifier; if using the pull-down menu, a prompt box will appear to select the device port.

The user's terminal will then be directly connected to the server, and will act as if the terminal was physically connected to the server. The SCS3230 displays the last page of the device buffer along with a system information message indicating which device port is selected as the user enters direct mode.

8.10.1Direct Mode Escape Sequence

The direct mode escape sequence is a series of two to five characters that allow the user to leave direct mode and return to monitor mode. The factory default for the direct mode escape sequence is <ESC> A (escape key, then uppercase "a"), but the user may change the sequence by using the command EDITESC or selecting CHANGE DIRECT MODE ESC from the pull-down menu at the user prompt. It is recommended that the user only change the escape sequence if it causes problems with the hardware or software used. It is also recommended that the user avoid combinations of the <CTRL> key and other keys, as these combinations are usually reserved for sending and receiving special characters through the terminal. When the user changes the escape sequence, a window with the hexadecimal representation of the old escape sequence will appear. Pressing <ESC> to exit from the edit prompt will not work; it will add additional
