Introduction
This chapter describes the front panel interface of the
DL600E
unit.
The front panel interface lets you:
¥ View and change the
DL600E
conÞguration from the
CONFIGURATION
menu
¥ Monitor and manage the
DL600E
unit from the
MONITOR
menu
¥ Run diagnostic tests on the
DL600E
unit from the
TEST
menu
The front panel interface is easy to use if you are an experienced user. If
you are not, the best way to learn the systemÕs contents and
organization is to use the terminal interface. It displays the system in
menus while the front panel interface displays only one line item at a
time.
Use the front panel when a terminal is not readily available. At times, it
is easier to use the front panel interface to perform a task rather than
connect a terminal to do the same from the terminal interface.
What You CanÕt Do From the Front Panel Interface
The front panel interface does not provide for setting:
¥ Alarm conditions and thresholds
¥ Superuser and Normal User passwords
¥ Modem connection and telephone numbers
You must use the terminal interface to set these parameters.
