Introduction
This chapter describes the menus and options associated with the WANsuite
5165’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 Service
Table Screen on page 4-20.) You will not be able to allocate channels
(see DS0 Monitor Details Screen on page 4-24) 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 VT 100 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 (Verilink
WANsuite 5165), 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.
