Entering or Changing Parameter Values in

Configuration Screens

Throughout the configuration screens, there are ‘‘type-in’’ and ‘‘select an option’’ parameter data fields. For example:

Circuit Name : ETHER1______

This is a ‘‘type-in’’ field in which you provide a value. Type-In fields are always underlined. Fill in a blank underlined field or type over the existing entry. Any underlines you see at the end of existing text indicate how long the entry may be. To correct a mistake, use the backspace key (not the [Delete] key) to reposition the cursor, and then retype. When you finish typing an entry, press [Return] to terminate it and move on to the next field or option. Notice that if you are typing over one entry with another, shorter entry, you should not try to delete the extra characters; just press [Return] after typing the last valid character in the string. Any characters remaining from the old string will be truncated. For example, if you were to replace an internet address of 100.100.100.10 in the IP Network Interface Definitions screen with another address of 10.10.10.1, you would just type the second address over the first and press [Enter]. (The remaining ‘‘0.10’’ from the first address would be truncated when you pressed [Enter].)

Original Address String:	100.100.100.10_	(‘‘0.10’’ is excess)
After New Entry Typed:	10.10.10.10.10_
After You Press [Return]:	10.10.10.1	([Return] truncates the excess)

Cursor position after new entry

Auto Enable : Yes

This is a ‘‘Select an Option’’ field, which always displays a current setting that is one of a number of preprogrammed options. Use the

[>]or [<] key to move through the supplied options. When the option you choose is displayed, press [Return] to enter it. This also moves the cursor to the next menu, screen, or prompt.
