Using F1-F4 keys in Telnet



Q. I want to use the function keys (F1 - F4) in the N9000 Telnet
   application. Is it possible to emulate those keys through the
   terminal?

A. Terminal and Telnet have special key list. It is a pop-up selectable
   list that is accessible from the trigger labelled "Key".  (This 
   label appears after making the telnet/terminal connection.)

   There are several entries including PF1 - PF4.  PF1 - PF4 send out 
   the following VT100 emulation ANSI mode auxiliary keypad codes: 

   PF1	-> ESC O P
   PF2	-> ESC O Q
   PF3	-> ESC O R
   PF4	-> ESC O S

   There is no way for external developers to change the keycodes
   generated or add new function keys.
