Device Type and

Revision

The device type (such as PRISM 41TDM) 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 interface) on the second line. Far-end information is
displayed only when available, otherwise, the screen displays a no remote access
message. Refer to this information when contacting the factory with inquiries.

When connected to a PRISM 3030 or a PRISM 3060, the second line displays the
physical slot number and DSU number (Slot # DSU #) of the DSU inside the PRISM
3030 or PRISM 3060 unit.

Date/Time

The top right corner of the terminal screen shows the current date and time. These
functions are described in Utilities on page 51.

Element ID

Below the header (PRISM 41TDM), the Element ID is displayed. Refer to
Management Ports on page 48 for information on the Element ID.

Menu Title

The menu title (third line, center) denotes the general classification of functions
currently accessible such as MAIN or PERFORMANCE.

Messages

Diagnostic messages may be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Cursor

The terminal interface uses a highlighted cursor to make selections from menus
and select fields within screens. The cursor is moved in different ways, depending
on the terminal emulation program used. Most programs use the Tab and Shift+Tab
keys. Other programs use the arrow keys. For keyboards which do not have these
standard keys or have only some of them, an alternate set of cursor control
commands is provided. Perform each command by pressing a letter key while
holding down the Control key. Alternate commands can be freely mixed with the
keyboard commands.

Field Types

Each screen is made up of fields. The two basic field types are user-selectable and
display-only. Fields without brackets or parenthesis are display only. They cannot
be changed on the screen.
