Navigating the Menus

Navigating via Terminal or Telnet Sessions Recommended for first-time users

Local console and Telnet sessions use multi-layered text menu systems that are nearly identical.

▪To select a menu item, press the letter shown at the beginning of that item. This takes you to an associated screen where settings may be viewed or changed.

▪To return to the previous menu (in most cases), press ESCAPE.

In general, the top portion of menu screens show read-only information (with no menu selection letter). The bottom portion of the screen contains parameters that can be selected for further information, alteration of values, or to navigate to other submenus.

When you arrive at a screen with user-definable parameter fields:

▪Press the letter shown at the beginning of the user-definable parameter.

If there is a user-definable value, the field clears to the right of the menu item, and you can enter the value you wish to use.

In some cases, when you select a parameter, you see a prompt at the bottom of the screen that says Choose an Option. Press SPACE to step through the available selections.

▪Press ENTER to accept the displayed parameter (the one you entered, or the one you chose by pressing SPACE ). In some cases, several parameters may be changed and then saved by a single keystroke.

▪To cancel the parameter change, simply press ESCAPE to restore the previous value.
