SVP functions (function keys)

A virtual keyboard is available to you for making entires on the SVP console.

>	Click the keyboard icon at the top right to open the virtual keyboard. Clicking the icon again closes the keyboard.

Function keys (pfkeys) PF1 through PF24 and Clear and Cancel are located in the upper part of the virtual keyboard. You can trigger the corresponding SVP functions by clicking with the mouse.

Some function keys are labeled with the name of the function they are most frequently used for (e.g. INDEX instead of PF2).

Function key PF20 (stop function) has no function in order to provide protection against it being pressed inadvertently and is therefore not offered on the virtual keyboard.

The table1 shows the function keys and their functions which are applicable for most frames. Any different function allocations of function keys are described in the frames concerned. As an alternative, SVP functions can be called and entries made in the frames using your keyboard.

Some of the function keys listed here only have a function in CE mode (CE=Customer Engineer, maintenance mode) and are used solely by Customer Support personnel. Customer Support can enable and disable CE mode on the server using a sliding switch on the inside of the maintenance panel or on the MU using a CLI command.
