Moving Through the Menus
The Top Level menu is the starting point for entering all commands. You can access this
menu from any other menu by pressing the
Top button.
As with all Excalibur ISX 5312/5314 menus, the Top Level menu consists of two lines.
The top line displays the model (
D
denotes the unit is equipped with dual T-1 interfaces,
S
denotes it is equipped with a single T-1 interface;
SA
denotes standalone,
CS
denotes
central site). The bottom line displays the possible options you can select. The Top
Level menu allows you to select from the following options:
•
Local
- places the ISX 5312/5314 into Local Mode. This is the normal mode of
operation. An L (for local) is displayed in the upper left corner of all screens when
in Local Mode.
•
Addr
- allows you to define the local T7 address required for T7 network
management and the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses required for SNMP network
management. It also allows you to direct traps to one SNMP manager and view
the port numbers used by this manager’s UDP (User Datagram Protocol) service
source port and destination port.
•
RTN
- allows you to clear alarms and any tests in progress, and allows you to turn
off the Test LED if it is lit.
To select an option, simply press the button ( 1 - 4 ) beneath it. The screen then displays a
submenu with a new set of options. Whenever the screen cannot fit all options on a
single display, it displays a flashing
>
arrow in the lower right corner. To display
additional options, press the > button. A flashing
<
arrow then appears in the lower left
corner of the screen. This indicates that you can display the previous options again by
pressing the
< button.
Each time you select an option, a new submenu appears, until the lowest-level menu is
reached, and the command is executed. To return from any menu to the previous menu,
press the
Escape button.
