ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT

USING VT100

 

This chapter describes the additional management tasks you can perform using VT100®. For an overview of the management you can perform and the different ways you can make a management connection to the hub, see Chapter 3.

Only the additional management screens are described in this chapter. For information on what the other screens do, refer to the corresponding Quick Config Manager screens in Chapter 4. The VT100 Screen Map on page 5-5 includes these references.

This chapter starts with an overview of the VT100 user interface. A map of all the screens is given, to help you to access any chosen screen.

In the descriptions of the options given in this chapter, the default values are underlined.

VT100 User Interface

We suggest you read through this section before you use the hub’s VT100 facility for the first time. Afterwards, you should only need it for reference.

Screens

Screens are divided into three main areas:

■The header area, at the top of the screen, displays a title which tells you the subject of the screen.

■The main part of the screen shows management information.

■The message area, at the bottom of the screen, is used to display information and error messages.

The displayed screens may not be identical to those illustrated in this chapter. The contents of screens depend on your access level. Access levels are described in “Logon” on page 5-7.
