4.1.1 Define the Menus

You create menus with the Set/Define Menu command. Each menu entry is numbered.
Each command includes a name for the menu item and a command that is executed on the
Terminal Server when that menu item is chosen. Users type the number of the command
they wish to execute and press Return.
To give your menu a name, use a Define Menu Title command.
Local>> DEFINE MENU TITLE "Black Box Console Server:"
There are three types of menu entries: those that connect users to devices on the network,
those that connect users to devices attached to the Terminal Server, and those that function
locally on the Terminal Server. The basic syntax of the Define Menu command includes a
menu item number, a menu item name, and a command that is executed when the user
chooses that menu item.
You must enclose both the menu item and the command in their own
Note:
sets of quotation marks.
To allow users to connect to a device on the network from a terminal connected to the
Terminal Server, use a Telnet command.
Local>> DEFINE MENU 1 "Cisco Router" "telnet 192.0.1.250;kill"
Local>> DEFINE MENU 2 "Sun Server" "telnet 192.0.1.251;kill"
