5.10 Macros
The KVMVideo Viewer window macro function allows you to:
• Send multiple keystrokes to a device, including keystrokes that you cannot generate without
affecting your local system, such as Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
• Send a macro from a predefined macro group. Macro groups for Windows®, Linux® and Sun are
already defined.
• Create, edit and delete your own macros. When you create or edit a macro, you can type the
desired keystrokes or you can select from among several available categories of keystrokes.
Each category contains a set of keystroke combinations. Selecting from the available
categories and keystrokes saves time and eliminates the risk of typographical errors.
NOTE: Macro group settings are device-specific; they can be set differently for each device.
To send a macro:
Select Macros - <desired macro> from the KVMVideo Viewer menu.
To create a macro:
1. Select Macros - User Defined Macros- Manage from the KVMVideo Viewer menu.
2. Click New.
3. Type the keys for the macro in the dialog box.
4. Click Create.
To delete a macro:
1. Select Macros - User Defined Macros - Manage from the KVMVideo Viewer menu.
2. Select the desired macro from the Defined Macros list and then click Delete.
3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
5.10.1 Global Macros
The KVMVideo Viewer supports global macros from the DSView™ software. An administrator can create
and designate a macro as global or personal. Global macros are created and used by the KVMviewer
client but are stored on the DSView™ servers. Personal macros are associated with the name of the user.
The DSView server will send the macro groups and their associated macros as part of the preferences
saved on the server. One of the macro groups is used as the default macro group for the DSView software
profile. The macros in the default group is added to the Macros menu in the KVMVideo Viewer.
The Macros menu of a viewer connected to a DSView server also contains Macros and Macro Groups
menu items. From these menus, an administrator can create and manage custom macros and macros
groups.
Macro Groups
From the DSView software, launch a KVM Video Viewer session and click Macros-Configure-Macro Groups
to view and manage the macro groups on the DSView server. By default, three groups are already defined
- Linux®, Sun and Windows®. You can create custom groups or edit existing groups.
To select a macro group to use as the default on the Macros menus of the KVMVideo Viewer window:
1. Click on a group and then check the Display on Menu box.
2. Select the All radio button at the bottom of the screen to view all the macro groups
