Using the Terminal Interface
If you are using a DEC VT100 or ANSI (the default) terminal configuration,
it is helpful to know how to select a menu option in the terminal interface.
Table 1 lists the instructions on how to move through the menus and
select menu options.
Enabled options in menus are preceded with a > symbol. In the following
example, the first option is enabled:
>Enable this port
Disable this port
When you press <Enter> to select a field in which you can enter a value,
the -> symbol is displayed. For example:
System name: ->
The -> symbol indicates that you can enter a new value for the parameter
or change the existing value. Once you have entered a value, press
<Enter>. Parameter changes are immediately activated on a Converteon
module.
