Alpha, the prompt would read GEORGE-Alpha>. When this prompt displays, you
are in monitor mode. There is no direct communication between you and the
server.
Note: You may select a server already selected by another user.
The system saves any output from the server to a buffer that you may access
(using cat or less), but you may not issue commands to the server. If you want to
issue commands to the server, you must enter direct mode.
Deselecting a Server
You may exit from the current device port by using the exit command or
selecting another device port.
Direct Mode
If you want to interact directly with a server rather than only monitor its output,
you must enter direct mode.
To enter direct mode using the direct or dir n command:
1. Select a device port.
2. Do one of the following:
To enter direct mode for the currently selected device port only, enter the
direct command.
To select a device port and enter direct mode in one step, enter the dir n
command, where n is the device port number or the name assigned to
the port.
3. Press Enter.
Your terminal directly connects to the server and acts as if the terminal was
physically connected to the server. The SCS displays the last page of the device
buffer along with a system information message indicating the device port
selected.
To escape from direct mode, use the direct mode escape sequence. The direct
mode escape sequence is a series of two to five characters that allow you 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"); you may
change the sequence by using the editesc command.
Edit Escape Sequence
We recommend that you only change the escape sequence if it causes problems
with your hardware or software. Also, we recommend that you avoid
combinations of the Ctrl key and other keys, as these combinations are usually
for sending and receiving special characters through the terminal. When you
change the escape sequence, a window with the hexadecimal representation of
the old escape sequence displays.
Note: Pressing Esc to exit from the edit prompt does not work; it adds
more Esc characters to the direct mode escape sequence. Use \x to
prefix any hexadecimal characters entered in the escape sequence. (The
default sequence is \x1BA = Esc+A, where 1B is the Hex value for Esc,
and A is the letter A.)
To keep the existing sequence, press Enter.
