ViKING terminal interface (blue screen)
This topic is primarily for administrators and other people who manage a Fiftytwo solution
As an alternative to using 52ViKING Store Management or the older 52ViKING Client, there's a very old way of managing 52ViKING servers through a blue screen. The official name of that blue screen interface is ViKING terminal interface.
This topic provides a brief introduction to basic ViKING terminal interface features, but because ViKING terminal interface is old, this topic doesn't go into much detail. Instead, Fiftytwo help & knowledge center focuses on how to manage 52ViKING store controllers (and enterprise controllers) through 52ViKING Store Management.
From a Linux terminal, use SSH to access the required 52ViKING store controller.
When ready, type the command v, and then press Enter.
When ViKING terminal interface has started, you get its main page. Example (in Danish):
From the main page, you can edit the 52ViKING store controller's settings (see the following).

When you're viewing the ViKING terminal interface main screen (see the previous), press F10.
This will open a menu. Example:

Select the menu's top option Administrative routines / Administrative rutiner by pressing Enter.
This will take you to 52ViKING terminal interface's main menu. Example:

In the following example, we've specified the mask PA03A:
-
To edit the mask in question, press F10.
This will bring up a new menu. Example:
-
To edit the record, use the Up arrow key to select the menu's top option Change this record / Ændring denne record, and then press Enter.
You can now edit the record. Example (note how the selected setting has become editable (highlighted in green)):
When you edit a record, you have the following options:
-
Move between settings on the page: Use arrow keys
-
Toggle status of selected setting: Press Spacebar
-
View ViKING terminal interface help about selected setting: Press F1
