Main Menu

The Main Menu, as shown in Figure 5-4, is used for accessing the various VT100 screens.

Figure 5-4 Main Menu

If you are using the management facility for the first time, we suggest that you:

■Set up logons for any other users and assign each user an appropriate security level. See “Configuring Local Security” on page 5-15.

■Assign new passwords for the default users. See “Editing Users” on page 5-18.

Getting Started 5-9

To carry out a particular management task, scroll to the relevant option and press [Return]. This chapter describes the screens which perform management tasks that Quick Config Manager does not.

Logoff

If you have finished using the facility, select the Logoff option from the bottom of the Main Menu. If you accessed the facility using a Telnet session or modem connection, the connection is closed automatically.

Auto Logout

There is a built-in security timeout on the VT100 interface. If you do not press any keys for three minutes, the management facility warns you that the inactivity timer is about to expire. If you do not press a key within 10 seconds, the timer expires and the screen is locked (any displayed statistics continue to be updated, however). When you next press any key, the display changes to the Auto Logout screen, which requests that you enter your password again. If entered correctly, you are returned to the screen that was previously active. If entered incorrectly, you are returned to the Logon screen.
