Some submenus require a selection from a list and then re-display the previous menu showing the selection. Other submenus have their own submenus that request additional information. After saving the entries, the top-level menu re-appears.

Toggles

Toggles display two or more values that can be selected for a parameter. Toggles have an asterisk (*) next to their menu item number. Entering the menu item number toggles to the next selection.

In this example, menu items 06 and 07 are toggles.

06*TCP

Default Window Size (200, 512, 1024, 2048)--------------------------

200

07*TCP

Send Ahead-----------------------------------------------------------

OFF

For 06*TCP Default Window Size, the user can toggle between values 200, 512, 1024, and 2048. For 07*TCP Send Ahead, the user can toggle between ON and OFF.

Data

Data menu items request text entries (such as destination names and card descriptions) or numeric values (such as port numbers and IP addresses). To enter information in a data menu item, enter the menu item number followed by a comma (or a space) and the configuration information.

In this example, the menu item requires an IP address entry.

01 IP Address (0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.254)-----------------------

000.000.000.000

To enter an IP address of 172.016.002.043, enter the following:

1,172.016.002.043

The menu re-appears with the entered IP address.

01 IP Address (0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.254)-----------------------

172.016.002.043

To change configuration data that has been entered for a menu item, enter the menu item number followed by a comma and the new data.

Tip: To change a typed entry, use BACKSPACE to back up to the desired position in the text and retype the changes. However, once the user presses ENTER, changes can be made only by selecting that menu item and re-entering the data.
