Settings
dialog
window
Operations
Console
has
a
built-in,
hot-key-activated,
settings
dialog
window
that
has
special
options
used
to
help
troubleshoot
problems.
The
Settings
window
is
activated
by
pressing
and
holding
the
Alt
and
shift
keys
then,
press
the
s
key
before
releasing
all
three
keys
(
ALT+Shift+s
).
The
options
to
split
the
log
files
can
be
very
helpful
to
your
service
provider,
especially
if
you
have
many
connection
configurations.
Splitting
the
logs
so
each
configuration
has
its
own
log
makes
it
easier
to
find
problems.
When
only
one
connection
has
a
problem,
activity
in
other
connections
aren’t
seen
in
the
log.
It
is
highly
suggested
that
the
user
not
make
any
other
changes
or
turn
on
any
other
functions
without
advice
from
your
service
provider.
Improper
use
of
the
options
on
this
window
may
cause
unpredictable
behavior
on
any
or
all
configured
connections.
There
is
also
a
hot-key-activated
function
to
capture
the
screen
data
when
the
connection
is
not
responding
correctly.
To
capture
the
screen
data,
select
the
configuration
and
press
Ctrl+C
.
This
will
dump
the
contents
of
the
last
ten
screen
buffers
(three
screens
of
data)
and
the
timestamp
they
were
received
into
the
connection
log.
This
log
can
be
used
by
support
or
development
to
see
what
the
last
updates
to
the
emulator
were.
Activating
this
process
a
second
time
without
changes
to
the
screen
will
not
produce
any
more
data
to
the
connection
log.
