Returning to the Main Menu

To return to the Main Menu from remote console mode, you must enter an attention key sequence to distinguish this command from keys that might be valid or desired for server control. The attention key sequence to return to the Main Menu is [Atn] Esc. This is done by entering the attention key as described in the down-arrow example, followed by Esc. The same rules apply. That is, the sequence consists of Ctrl+A followed by Esc. It is incorrect to press all three keys at the same time. Successful entry of this character sequence returns you to the Main Menu.

If you are using Compaq Insight Manager as the terminal emulation application, the process of switching between the main menu and remote console mode is greatly simplified by the Switch Consoles button, located at the bottom of the terminal emulation window. Click this button to toggle between the two modes and bypass the Remote Console submenu.
