Power Up the Bridge/Router
Once the LAN and Link connections are made and the console is connected to a terminal, you are ready to
Observe the LEDs as the bridge/router powers up. The LEDs will go through a circular flashing pattern as the
Enter at least one <RETURN> (up to three if necessary) in order for the bridge/router to determine the baud rate of the terminal used for the console (i.e., autobaud). The following information will now be seen on the console connected to the bridge/router :
Terminals supported:

Select the terminal type being used if listed and enter its name (in lower case) at the prompt, or choose the terminal type teletype if your terminal is not listed. This terminal type operates in scroll mode and may be used successfully until a custom terminal definition is created.
Managing the P1705 & P1730
Using the Menus
This section describes the minimum configuration parameters required when setting up the P1705 & P1730. Each of the configuration scenarios requires setting of operational parameters on the P1705 & P1730. The
The router menu system operates on a “hotkey” principle; navigating around the menu system is done by typing the number associated with the desired option; the P1705 & P1730 acts on the choice immediately (no need to hit the “enter” key).
The menu system consists of different menu levels each containing new configuration options. Navigation back out of a nested menu is easily accomplished by pressing the tab key. The tab key takes you to the previous menu level. If you wish to move from your current menu location directly to the main menu simply press the equals “=” key.
When choosing menu options that will toggle between values, simply pressing the number associated with that option will cause the options value to change. Each successive selection of the option will cause the option’s value to change again.
Some menu options require input from the operator. When selecting an option that requires a value, the menu system will display the range of values acceptable and a prompt symbol “>”. Enter the new value at the prompt symbol and press enter. Should you make an error in entering the new value, the <BACKSPACE> key (for most terminals) deletes the most recently entered characters.
