Once the appropriate configuration option changes have been made and access is established, the Main Menu screen appears (unless a password is required).

Figure I-1, Main Menu Screen, shows the Main Menu screen for a standalone

DSU/CSU.

The carrier-mounted DSU/CSU shows the 3000 Series carrier slot number under the Customer ID. The slot number field (e.g., Slot: 1) is changed to access specific DSU/CSUs in the carrier. For Telnet or SNMP access to the carrier, specify the IP address of the applicable communication port (see Appendix G, IP Network Addressing Scenarios).

NOTE:

By convention throughout this appendix, examples of screens are shown as they appear with the standalone DSU/CSU.

If a password is required, the Login screen displays the prompt for password input. (Refer to Entering a Password to Gain Access on page I-14.)

To move between the Screen area and the Screen Function Keys area (Figure I-1, Main Menu Screen), press Ctrl-a (Control key and a).

From the Screen area, you may select the Status, Test, Configuration, or

Control branches.
