C.6 IR-IP Management Utility

General Operating Procedures

The IR-IP interface module is managed via a simple, menu-driven utility that uses a basic terminal user interface. A typical screen is shown in Figure C-4.

As seen in Figure C-4,each screen has a header that identifies the device being configured and its logical name, assigned by the user, followed by the running software revision and date. The bottom line of the screen displays prompts that guide you in the execution of the various activities.

Use the following general procedures to perform the desired activity:

•To change a parameter or to select a menu item, type the corresponding line number.

•For a parameter, which has a discrete set of values, the parameter values are enclosed in brackets [ ]. To select a new value, press the spacebar to scroll among the available values until the desired value is displayed, and then press <Enter> to select the displayed value.

•To enter a value which requires free text entry, type in the desired string and then press <Enter>. Use backspace to erase the current string.

•After all the parameters have been selected, a prompt appears, requesting that you confirm the changes.

Note For proper display of the screens, you must:

•Select a fixed-pitch system font for the display. Use your operating system documentation to find how to select a proper font.

•Configure the Telnet utility to use VT-100 terminal emulation.

Starting a Management Utility

The management utility is started automatically when Telnet communication is established. If password protection is enabled (see the Management Access Menu section below), you will be prompted to enter the Telnet password. The opening screen, which appears after the Telnet session activation, is the IR-IP Main menu (see Figure C-4).
