Using the DRVCFG Utility

The configuration utility uses several input keys (F1, F2, HOME, END, and so on) that may not
be supported by all terminal emulation programs. Each of these keys has an alternate key that
performs the same function. Review the terminal emulation program documentation to verify
which input keys are supported. If problems occur using any of the function keys or
HOME

/END/PGUP/PGDN, it is recommended that the alternate keys be used.

There are general key inputs throughout the configuration utility that apply on all screens:
F1 Help

Context sensitive help for the cursor-resident field.

Arrow Keys

Select Item - Up, down, left, right movement to position the cursor.

Home/End

Select Item - Up, down, left, right movement to position the cursor.

+/-

Change Item - Items with values in [ ] brackets are modifiable. Numeric keypad
+ and numeric keypad - (minus) update a modifiable field to its next relative
value.

Esc

Abort/Exit - Escape aborts the current context operation and/or exits the current
screen. User confirmation is solicited as required if changes have been made
by user. If you are using a serial console, pressing Esc causes a delay of several
seconds before it takes effect. This is normal system behavior and is not an error.

Enter

different background color. Press Enter to execute the field's associated function.
