Connect Local Menu Entry
Access a local service on the SCS with a general SCS command.
Local Service Menu Entry
Note:
The Exit command, which only works in menu mode, allows users
to return to the SCS Local> prompt. It is helpful to include this command
in your menus until you have fully tested them--otherwise there is no way
for users on menu mode ports to return to the Local> prompt. To return
to the menu from the Local> prompt, type menu.

Using Menu/Connection Commands
You can change a port name to reference the type of device that port is connected to. For
example, a port attached to a router could be named
router
. To change the name of a
port, open the configuration page for that port (
Ports
Configure
) and enter the new
name in the
Port Name
field.
Changing the Port Name
You can enter more than one command in the
Command
field by separating each
command with a semicolon (;). The most common use of this is in the form:
connect
{
local
or
remote
}
portname;command
for example:
connect local port_2;disconnect
.
This command can be shortened to
con loc port_2;disc
. The
disconnect
command
closes the connection to that port when you return to the menu
.
The SCS has default hot keys defined for Telnet connections to a port or from the menu.
To change the default hot key; see the
SCS Reference Manual.
Ctrl+L:
Allows you to jump back to the menu from a port connection.
Ctrl+F:
Allows you to jump forward to another connect session.
Ctrl+B:
Allows you to jump backward to a previous connect session.
Ctrl+Y:
Allows you to send a break from a Telnet or SSH connection. (The SCS will not
cause unintentional breaks that can halt a Sun Solaris server.)
If you would like to open more than one port connection and jump between those
connections, remove the
disconnect
command from your menu entry. Then, use the
default hot keys to return to the menu (
Ctrl+L
) and select another connection. Once more
