2-8 CHAPTER 2: HOW TO USE THE ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE

Selecting Menu You select a menu option at the selection prompt by entering its name (or Options enough of the name to uniquely identify it within the particular menu). For

example, to access the system menu from the top-level menu, you enter:

Select a menu option: system

OR

Select a menu option: sy

Entering a command string

Menu options are not case sensitive.

When you enter a menu option, you either go to the next menu in the hierarchy or you see information for the option you entered. The information is either a prompt or a screen display. If you enter the menu option incorrectly, you receive a prompt telling you that what you entered was not valid or was ambiguous. You must re-enter the command from the point at which it became incorrect. Expand a truncated command until it becomes unambiguous.

When a new menu appears, the selection prompt (with its choices in parentheses) changes to reflect your progression through the menus. For example, if you enter system at the top-level menu and then baseline at the system menu, the prompt changes at the next level:

Select a menu option (system/baseline):

Once you are familiar with the menu structure, instead of working your way down the menu hierarchy to a task, you can enter a string of menu options at a selection prompt to go immediately to a task. For example, the command string for setting a baseline from the top-level menu looks like this:

Select a menu option: system baseline set

The most abbreviated version of the same command string is:

Select a menu option: sy b s

When you enter a command string, you move to the last menu level or option you entered in the command string, and information relevant to that command is displayed. It may be a menu, prompt, or screen display.
