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 ConsoleServer 3200 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.

It is recommended that the user only change the escape sequence if it causes problems with the hardware or
