SHOW functions
Functions such as SHOW_ALL and SHOW_TABLE are referred to as display
functions. They are used to display information while you are entering a command,
without interrupting the procedure.
Erasing the buffer
Up to 100 characters can be stored in the keyboard buffer, allowing you to type in
commands or other key sequences before being prompted for them. To clear the
buffer, hold down the <Ctrl> key and type <X>. All unexecuted commands are
canceled when the buffer is cleared.
Refreshing the display
To refresh the terminal screen, press <Esc> <R>. Refreshing the screen is useful
when:
•
a database verification is in progress
•
you are monitoring system alarms and want to update the information displayed
•
you are examining the signaling leads
•
a transmission error or some other event corrupts the displayed information
10.6 Logging out of the NMTI
You can log out manually, or, to prevent unauthorized use of an unattended terminal,
you can program the length of time after which the NMTI automatically quits if there
has been no activity.
Logging out manually
To log out from the main menu, select Quit (F9 or 9). To log out from any other
menu, select Quit to return to the main menu, then select Quit again to log out.
Procedure 10-3 To log out automatically
Automatic logouts can be set to 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or None. If None is selected, the
session remains connected until you log out manually.
* Default
If the connection is dropped, the NMTI session is terminated automatically.
