Screen
Components
Terminal interface screens have several components common to all screens and are
discussed individually in the following paragraphs. These common elements are
shown in the Password Screen (see Figure 4-1).
Device Type
and Revision
The device type (PRISM 3001) and the revision control numbers are shown in the
upper left corner. The first number is the hardware revision and the second number
is the software revision. Information is displayed for the near-end unit (connected
directly to the terminal) on the top line, and for the far-end unit (connected to the
network T1 interface) on the second line. Refer to this information when
contacting the factory with inquiries.
The far-end information is available only for TxPORT products that support a
proprietary message set. If the far end does not support these messages but does
support the standard 54016 protocol, then the far-end information is displayed as
Generic 54016 Far End. If the far end does not respond to either proprietary or
54016 messages, then No Far End Response is displayed.

setting of these functions is described in Utilities Screen on page 4-21.
