Getting Started Using Terminal Menus
Terminal menus provide one of the primary means of monitoring and configuring
the ATLAS

PLUS
. The terminal menu interface uses the full capabilities of the
VT-100 terminal to provide the quickest and most intuitive operation possible. To
receive the full benefit of the terminal menu interface, you should use a fully
VT-100 compatible client. The ADTRAN Utilities floppy disks (that you can install
on a PC) contain both a VT-100 client and a customized Telnet program. See
“ADTRAN Utilities” on page 10-1 for details on the available programs.
