Description
Six "hotkey" combinations that are treated specially by Sun Ray[TM].


Steps to Follow
Sun Ray[TM]: Which Hot Keys are available in a Sun Ray Environment ?

Key Combination

Action

[Shift] [Props]

Pops up the "Property-Dialog"; same as the /opt/SUNWut/bin/utsettings. See also utsettings(1). Using the hotkey a second time dismisses the dialog.

The hotkey for the Settings GUI can be configured by both the admin and the user. See also Appendix A of the SRSS 3.0/3.1 Admin Guide and the manpages for utslaunch and utslaunch.properties.

[Shift] [Pause]

SRSS 1.3 and higher: suspend a NSCM session; same as /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdetach.

The hotkey to detach a session can be configured by both the admin and the user. See also Appendix A of the SRSS 3.0/3.1 Admin Guide and the manpages for utslaunch and utslaunch.properties.

[Ctrl] [Alt] [Backspace] [Backspace]

Kill a Sun Ray session (suicide). Actually it kills the X server, and therefore terminates a desktop login.

The keystrokes are not configurable.

[Ctrl] [Alt] [Del] [Del]

It breaks any X server grab held by an X application. Actually this kills the process that has taken control of the X server. This can sometimes get the desktop out of a "wedged" state without terminating the entire desktop.

The keystrokes are not configurable.

[Ctrl] [Crescent (Moon)]

Resets the DTU. The DTU restarts as though its power had been cycled off and on.

The keystrokes are available on Sun keyboards only! The keystrokes are not configurable.

[Mute] [Softer] [Louder]

Refer to Figure 1.

Displays the last three bytes (in hex) of the terminals MAC at the OSD, plus the bandwidth (10 H indicates 10 Mbps half duplex, 100 F indicates 100 Mbps full duplex). With SRSS 1.3 and newer firmware, all 6 bytes (in hex) including the bandwidth are displayed. With SRSS 2.0 and newer firmware, the OSD also displays IP address, server authentication state, encryption state, server IP address, and a numeric icon code (31 to 34) followed by an alphanumeric DHCP state code (A to D). See also Appendix A of the SRSS 3.0/3.1 Admin Guide.

Refer to Figure 2.

The improved OSD icons from the Sun Ray 2 DTUs look different, but they provide the same information.

Refer to Figure 3.

The keystrokes are available on Sun-keyboards only! The keystrokes are not configurable.
