12.3 Main Menu

The main menu is shown in Figure 11. All gateway configuration is performed by “drilling down” into progressively lower-level menus.

Figure 11: Console Main Menu

All navigation and data entry commands are input by simply entering the menu selection number to the right of the “>” symbol along with any required data fields at the console prompt. In Figure 11, for example, entering the menu selection number “1” (without the quotation marks) will bring up the View/Edit Points submenu. Throughout this manual, example console entry strings will be provided enclosed in quotation marks to delineate them from the description text: whenever actually entering the console strings, however, do not include the quotation marks.

When additional data fields are required with a data entry command, they will be indicated by square brackets (“[…]”) after the menu selection number. All data entry commands and data fields must be separated by spaces. Because data entry commands and data fields are delineated by spaces, spaces are therefore not allowed within data fields (such as name strings). In these cases, it is usually convenient to use an underscore “_” in place of a space. For example, attempting to enter a point’s name as “My point” would result in an error, but “My_point” would be perfectly acceptable.
