Macros
NOTE: Three additional types of macros are available in the DSView management software. Exit macros,
created within the DSView 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/SSH applet.
The DSView management software Telnet/SSH applet has a macro function that allows you to
create and use macros during Telnet/SSH applet 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/
SSH applet session either by selecting it from the Macros menu or by pressing the defined hotkey
on your keyboard.
You may also define one or more global macro or personal macro groups, then add macros to the
groups. Personal macro groups may be created by any user and are only available for use on the
target device on which they are created. Global macros may only be created by a DSView software
administrator and are available for use by any user on the DSView software system.
A macro may belong to more than one macro group or belong to both personal and global macro
groups; however, a macro does not have to belong to a macro group. Selecting Macros - Configure
- Groups takes you to the Configure Macro Groups dialog box which contains a list of defined
macro groups from which you may select one group or all defined groups. The macros in the
selected group(s) are then available for use during subsequent Telnet/SSH applet sessions with
that device/port.
After defining a macro or a macro group, you may edit or delete it at any time. When you delete a
macro or macro group, you are prompted for confirmation. When you change a macro group name,
each macro belonging to the changed macro group is updated, but the change is not visible until the
next Telnet/SSH applet session is established. When you delete a macro group, you delete only its
name - the individual macros in the group are not affected.
To create a macro:
1. Select Macros - Configure - Macros from the menu bar. The Configure Macros dialog
box appears.
2. Click the Create button. The Configure Macros dialog box expands to display an Edit
Macro area.
3. In the Macro Name field, Type a 1-64 character name for the macro.
