4-10 Using Integrated Remote Console
When the Change Attention Key menu option is selected, IRC prompts you to enter a new attention key. A screen similar to Figure
Figure 4-6. Change Attention Key screen
The default attention key for a new user is Ctrl + A. If a user modifies the attention key, the modified value is saved in the user database. Different users can use different attention keys.
An attention key may be any ASCII key, preferably a key that is infrequently used. For this reason, numbers and upper and lower case numbers are not allowed to be assigned as the attention key.
See Chapter 5 for a complete listing of attention key sequences.
Changing the Terminal Screen Size
This option allows you to accurately view the server console from the remote terminal program. Users accessing IRC from Compaq Insight Manager do not need to change this setting, since Insight Manager’s terminal window automatically adjusts to the correct number of lines as the server changes video modes.
For proper operation, this setting must match the number of lines currently displayed by the remote user’s ANSI terminal. Most standard ANSI terminal emulation packages, like HyperTerminal, default to a screen size of 80 columns by 24 rows. This mode can be accommodated by IRC by changing the terminal size setting to 24 rows. However, since the server display usually contains at least 25 rows, all rows which extend beyond the terminal size setting are shortened.
