6.6.2 Report Output Options

After a report is generated, you are asked to select where the output should be directed. The common output options are:

Example 6-2 Report Output Options

Exit stop the display and return to the Output Options menu

6.7 Desktop Management

The desktop is everything you see on the screen --- the windows, icons, etc. There might be occasions when you want to move a window or perform some other desktop/screen management operation. This section explains how to perform some of the screen management procedures such as how to open and close a DECterm window, create an icon, move a window, use the session manager.

INTOUCH INSA manages the desktop for you automatically. Under normal circumstances, the only manual desktop operations you might perform are:

6.7.1 Moving a Window

You can move a window from one area of the screen to another area.

      | |                                                                   | | 
      | |                                                                   | | 
      | |                                                                   | | 
      | |                                                                   | | 

To move a window:

  1. Position the pointer anywhere in the window's title bar except on a button.
  2. Press and hold mouse button 1 (MB1) --- an outline of the window is displayed.
  3. Drag the window outline to the desired location.
  4. Release MB1.

If the moved window was behind other windows, it moves to the front of the stack and is available.

6.7.2 Window Management Options

After a window is opened, you can perform various window management options. This section explains the most commonly used options.

Minimize/Iconize a Window

You can minimize/shrink the window by using the Minimize button.

      | |                                                                   | | 
      | |                                                                   | | 
      | |                                                                   | | 
      | |                                                                   | | 

Clicking on the Minimize button shrinks the window to an icon. The window disappears and is replaced by an icon in the lower, right side of the screen. If a process is running when the window is iconized, the process continues running.

Selecting the Network menu option creates a report of Ethernet statistics and TCP/IP statistics.

After the report is generated, you are asked for an output option (see Section 6.6.2, Report Output Options). After the report has been output, you are returned to the Status menu.

The following is an example of a network statistics report:

Selecting the INTOUCH INSA menu option causes INSA Manager to display information on the status of INTOUCH INSA. The display shows information about the following:

The status information, such as handler packet counts, is automatically updated as the data (i.e. packet counts) changes.

When the INTOUCH INSA menu option is selected, a new window is opened and the status data is displayed in this window. At this point, you are in the INTOUCH INSA Status window --- i.e. this is the active window. If you want the status window to remain open, you can click on the INSA Manager window and perform other procedures. The status window can also be iconized and later restored (see Section 6.7.2, Window Management Options).

To close the INTOUCH INSA status window, press any key and you will be returned to the Status menu.

The following is an example of the INTOUCH INSA Status display:
