Methods of Operation, Terminal Menu Structure

Chapter 3. Operation

METHODS OF OPERATION

You can control and configure the Quad FXS Voice Module from the follow- ing sources:

•The terminal menus, allowing detailed configuration, status, and diag- nostics

•SNMP, primarily for reporting alarm conditions and system status

The remainder of this chapter describes the menu items presented when managing the Quad FXS Voice Module via the terminal menu.

Access the terminal menu using either a VT-100 terminal attached to the TA 850 Base Unit’s control port or a Telnet session established through the Base Unit’s Ethernet port. The TA 850 User Manual provides detailed instructions on the operation of each of these management approaches.

The factory default password is PASSWORD. It can be changed to a user- specified password.

TERMINAL MENU STRUCTURE

The TA 850 uses a hierarchical menu structure to provide access to all of its features. The top-most menu level leads to submenus which are grouped by functionality. All menu items display in the terminal window. To access the Quad FXS Voice Module, activate the MODULES menu.

Refer to the TA 850 User Manual for detailed instructions on navigating through the terminal menu.

From the MODULES menu, select the QUAD FXS menu, and then press Enter to access the features of the Quad FXS card.
