1.1.2 The Structure of the User Interface

The user interface is organized as a series of menus with an escape to a command line interface (CLI) shell. Each menu screen presents the switch name (as proved by the System Identification parameter), Menu Title, Access Level, Alarms indicator, Sub-Menus and Command Bar.

Sub-menus are entered by selecting the desired menu with the arrow keys and pressing the enter key. Pressing the escape key ascends to the parent menu.

•<CTRL> Z to display help on the current command or data item

•<CTRL> S to switch to the CLI shell

•<CTRL> U/D to jump to next/previous page of a status display

The main menu also provides a <CTRL> X command, which will terminate the session. This type of menu is accessible via serial consol, telnet session and SSH session.
