Online messages are displayed during Personal Communications sessions, but a message does not always mean an error occurred. For example, a message might tell you that an operation is in progress or has been completed. A message can also prompt you to wait for the completion of an operation.
Press F1 to display help for the messages that appear.
Personal Communications optionally utilizes Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to establish sessions with servers; this might require input from you (for example, a password). Refer to Administrator's Guide and Reference for details.
If your workstation is centrally administered, you may be shown a warning or pop-up error message whenever you attempt to use certain restricted functions. For example, if your ability to remap the keyboard is restricted, a message would be displayed when you select Preferences -> Keyboard from the Edit menu.
Contact your system administrator for further guidance. For further information about the systems policies provided with Personal Communications, refer to Administrator's Guide and Reference.
If a page fault or similar system error message appears in a pop-up window, you can copy its contents into the Windows clipboard. Use the following procedure:
Personal Communications displays messages in the operator information area (OIA) or in a pop-up window. Messages from Personal Communications are displayed in the message window; messages from the host system are displayed in the OIA of the session window.
The bottom line of the session window is the OIA. The OIA indicator indicates the status of Personal Communications and information about the workstation, host system, and attachment method.
All of the OIA indicators, reminders, and messages are described in the online help.
