Special Keys

<Enter>

or

<Ctrl+M>

These keys are used to end the input of a value.

<ESC>

or

<Ctrl+I>

These keys are used to cancel a selection or return to the previous menu. In
some isolated cases, this key forwards you to the next menu in a series of
menus at the same level.

<Backspace>

or

<Ctrl+H

>

These keys have the expected effect of erasing previously typed characters.

L

When available, this option displays the current configuration. For example, in
the Ethernet Interface Menu, “L” displays the Ethernet configurations.

On leaving a menu where a change in configuration was made, CyROS will ask whether or not the change is to
be saved:

(D)iscard, save to (F)lash, or save to (R)un configuration:

Selecting

Discard

will undo all changes made since the last time the question was asked. Saving to

Flash

memory makes all changes permanent. The changes are immediately effective and are saved to the
configuration vector in flash memory. In this case, the configuration is maintained even after a router reboot.
Saving only to the

Run

configuration makes all changes effective immediately, but nothing is saved permanently

until explicitly saved to flash (which can be done with the option ADMIN =>WRITE CONFIGURATION=>TO
FLASH).

The menus and parameter lists are represented in this manual by tables. The first column contains the menu
item or the parameter, and the second column contains its description.

This menu interface is also available via Telnet if one of the interfaces has been connected and configured. The
menu interface is the same as that described earlier in this section. Using Telnet instead of a console for the
initial Ethernet configuration is discussed in Appendix C of the Installation Manual.
