Attention Key Command Sequences

 

 

Key

Command

[Atn] Esc

Exits the Remote Console mode and displays the IRC Main

 

Menu.

 

 

[Atn] Space

Instructs the Integrated Remote Console application to refresh

 

the server console screen on the remote terminal. This

 

command is only necessary if the remote terminal program is

 

reset or instructed to clear its screen.

 

 

Example: Returning to IRC Main Menu

For example, to exit the Remote Console mode and display the Main Menu:

1.Enter the attention key. In this example the attention key is set to its default: Ctrl+A. Press both the Ctrl and the A keys down simultaneously. Release both keys, making sure to release the Ctrl key last.

2.Enter the command to exit Remote Console mode and return to the main menu. This command is key is Esc.

Step 1 signals IRC that a special key sequence is to follow. The Esc key pressed in step 2 is therefore interpreted as the “exit to Remote Console mode” command and not interpreted as a keystroke needing to be typed at the server keyboard.
