those specified in the Telnet Viewer’s configuration (see

Macros
NOTE: Three additional types of macros are available in the DSView 3 management software. Exit macros,
created within the DSView 3 Explorer, reside on DS1800 digital switches and DSR switches and are used by by
these switches. Global macros and personal macros are created using the Video Viewer window and are used
with KVM sessions with target devices attached to DS1800 digital switches and DSR switches. None of these
macros may be used or are compatible with a Telnet Viewer.
The DSView 3 software Telnet Viewer has a macro function that allows you to create and use
macros during Telnet Viewer sessions. A macro comprises a series of keystrokes that you define.
Additionally, you may specify a hotkey in the macro’s definition. When you define a macro and
enable its inclusion in the Macros menu, you may execute the macro during a Telnet Viewer
