Text-Based System Management Services
The text-based System Management Services are available if an ASCII terminal is
attached to your system. The text-based System Management Services make it
possible for you to view information about your system and to perform such tasks as
setting passwords and changing device configurations.
To start the text-based System Management Services, press the number 1 key on the
ASCII terminal after the word
″
keyboard
″
appears and before the word
″
speaker
″
appears. After the text-based System Management Services starts, the following screen
displays.
Note: The version of firmware currently installed in your system is displayed at the top
of each screen in the text-based System Management Services. Note the
version number. Processor and other device upgrades may require a specific
version of firmware to be installed in your system. Update System Firmware is
an option under the Main Menu.
On all menus except the Main Menu, there are several navigator keys:
M Return to the main menu.
ESC Return to the previous menu.
X Exit the System Management Services and start the operating system.
If X is entered, you are asked to confirm your choice to exit the SMS menus
and start the operating system.
When there is more than one page of information to display, there are two additional
navigator keys:
N Display the next page of the list.
P Display the next page of the list.
Note: The lower-case navigator key has the same effect as the upper-case key that is
shown on the screen. For example,
″
m
″
or
″
M
″
takes you back to the main
menu.
On each menu screen, you are given the option of choosing a menu item and pressing
enter (if applicable), or selecting a navigator key.
