Introduction
This chapter describes the menus and options associated with the T1 Access
Router’s VT100 interface. The screens displayed throughout this chapter were
accessed through a TELNET session.
NOTICE: The material presented in this chapter follows the order in which the
screens are presented in the VT100 interface. However, because the
parameters you specify in the Service Table attach protocols to
interfaces, you must configure the Service Table first. (See Services on
page 4-15.) You will not be able to allocate channels (see Channel
Table Details Screen on page 4-16) until the Service Table has been
configured.
Accessing the VT100 Interface
You can access the VT100 interface locally via the Supervisory port or
remotely through a TELNET session. To access the VT100 screens locally,
verify the Supervisory type is “tty” and the Supervisory port speed matches
the terminal emulation program that’s being used. (Port speeds supported
include the following: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200 bps.) You can access the VT100 interface remotely by opening a
TELNET session, entering the unit’s IP address, and connecting to the unit.
Screen Components
The VT100 terminal screens have several components common to all screens
(see Figure 4.1 below). These components include the device type, which is
centered on the screen, the software and hardware revision numbers (upper
left), the date and time (upper right), the menu title (“Main” in the figure
below), and the serial number under which the unit is operating. Except for
the Main screen shown in Figure 4.2, the screen captures throughout this
chapter show only the configuration portion of the screen and not the screen
components.
