Attention Key Command Sequences
These sequences, listed in Table 5-1, issue an instruction to IRC from within
remote console mode.
Table 5-1
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.
