Using pman
pman is an text-based configuration program that runs from the Unix shell on the set top box.
Its functionality mirrors the web-based configuration tool and you can use pman to set or edit
all STB configuration parameters. In a typical scenario, you use a keyboard (wireless or PS/2)
to open a Unix shell and you launch pman from that shell. You can also run pman using
terminal emulation or Telnet.
TTo ru n pman using the wireless keyboard:
1. Type Ctrl-Alt-F1 to access the Unix shell using the wireless keyboard (or a standard
keyboard connected to the PS/2 port).
2. At the VBrick-STB login: prompt, enter the username and password (root, admin).
3. Then type pman to launch the text-based pman configuration utility.
4. Navigate using the arrow keys; select fields or apply changes using the Enter key.
5. Select <...> to exit to a higher level in the menu.
6. When done, type Ctrl-Alt-F2 to exit.
