Using the Console

The Console Program is the interface that you will be using to
configure your DI-1162. Several operations that you should be familiar
with before you attempt to modify the configuration of your router are
listed below:

Moving Forward to Another Menu. To move forward to a

sub-menu below the current one, use Tab or arrow keys to
position the cursor on the sub-menu item and press Enter to
view the selected sub-menu.

Moving the Cursor. Within a menu, use Tab and arrow keys

to navigate through different information fields.

Entering Information. There are two types of fields that you

will need to fill in. The first requires you to type in the
appropriate information. The second gives you choices to
choose from. In the second case, press the space bar to cycle
through the available choices. Upon configuring all fields the
sub-menu, position the cursor on SAVE and press Enter to
save, or position the cursor on EXIT to cancel.

Refresh Screen. Console screens are notorious for becoming

garbled. When this happens, simply press <Ctrl> + <R> to
refresh the contents of the screen.
