Setting Control Keys

You can redefine the default control keys shown in the following table if you wish.

If you do redefine the keys, you need to repeat the process each time you use the monitor command, as changes made to key definitions are not stored. Alternatively, use the initialization facility described in the section, Customizing the Monitor and Connect Interfaces, earlier in this chapter.

Control Key	Default	Default Action
Exit	CTRL_E	Takes you out of the connect interface and returns you to the command line.
Escape	CTRL_G	Disconnects your session from the serviced system's console and returns you to the monitor interface, where all the monitor interface commands are available.
Halt	CTRL_P	Sends the halt sequence or break signal to the serviced system
Break	CTRL_P	Sends the halt sequence or break signal to the serviced system.
Refresh	CTRL_W	Repaints the screen after an interruption.

For example, to change the defined Exit key from CTRL_E to CTRL_A, on system pepper:

Click the mode change button to change to Edit mode.
Click the right mouse button on the system icon for pepper, and select Modify from the popup menu. The Modify System dialog box is displayed (see the figure in Setting Control Keys, earlier in this chapter).
Press the left mouse button on the Exit Key button, move the cursor to , or CTRL_A, and release the left mouse button.
Click OK to accept the change.
Click the mode change button to change back to Interactive mode.
To save your edits, pull down the Options menu and choose the Save menu item to save the changes you have made.

Note: Each control key must have a different value. If you attempt to set a control key to the same value as one already defined, the control key has no definition.
