OPERATING THE ATLAS 800 PLUS

You can access basic setup functions from the ATLAS 800PLUS front panel. To access all of the ATLAS 800PLUS functions, set up a Telnet session or use a VT-100. The following sections provide an overview of the different ways to operate the

For detailed information about the commands available through the front panel menus, see “Front Panel Operation and Menu Structure” on page 4-1.

Getting Started Using Terminal Menus

Terminal menus provide one of the primary means of monitoring and configuring the ATLAS 800PLUS. The terminal menu interface uses the full capabilities of the VT-100 terminal to provide the quickest and most intuitive operation possible. To receive the full benefit of the terminal menu interface, you should use a fully VT-100 compatible client. The ADTRAN Utilities floppy disks (that you can install on a PC) contain both a VT-100 client and a customized Telnet program. See “ADTRAN Utilities” on page 10-1 for details on the available programs.
