  3. Click the  (Save) icon to configure the fields.
  4. Click the (Play) button  again and then press the Ctlr button from the keyboard to highlight the CMD interface where you want to capture the Enter interaction of the keyboard after getmac is entered.
  5. In the Action list, select Keyboard Input. The Interaction and Key fields appears.
