Menu and Screen Formats

The Hotwire DSLAM uses an ASCII-based text format for its menus and screens. This section describes the components of a typical Hotwire menu and screen.

Components of a Hotwire Menu

A typical Hotwire menu format looks like this:

1

2

3

1.Menu Title is the top line of the menu window that displays the title of the menu or submenu.

2.Menu List is the portion of the menu window that displays the list of menu options. When selected, a menu option displays a submenu window or screen.

3.Letter Navigation Keys are provided within a menu list. These keys provide a convenient way (short cut) to select a menu item.

For example, from the Hotwire ± DSL menu illustrated above, you can simply press the A key to select the Configuration menu item. The Configuration menu appears. You can then press the A key to select the Card Status menu item. This action displays the Card Status menu. (You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select a menu item. See Commonly Used Navigation Keys on page 2-4 for more information.)

To back up one menu level, press Ctrl-z. To go to the Main Menu, press Ctrl-a,

Ctrl-c, Ctrl-t, or Ctrl-y.
