Configuring Menu Mode

The
List Email
command can be used to show the emailsite configurations for one or more emailsites.
If network logging is enabled (
Set/Define Logging Network Enabled
), any errors that occur during email
notification are stored in the system log. System logging is discussed in Chapter 11,
Security
.
3.4 Configuring Menu Mode
When a port is in menu mode, users who log into the port will be presented with a list of menu options. Their
choices are limited to those displayed in the menu, as they will not be permitted to enter text commands.
Figure 3-5:
Sample Menu
Menus can be configured one of two ways: by entering title and item entries individually with the web
browser interface or at the command line, or by creating a menu configuration file.
To enable menu mode on a particular port, use the
Set/Define Ports Menu
command.
Figure 3-6:
Enabling Menu Mode on a Port
To display the current menu, use the
Show/Monitor/List Menu
command. If you are using a menu
configuration file, this command will not work—you must view that file to see the menus.
3.4.1 Menu Configuration at the Command Line
Use the
Set/Define Menu
command to create entries for your menu. For each menu entry, specify the
option’s numbered position in the table, the entry description that will be displayed in the menu, and the
actual command invoked when the user chooses that option.
Enclose option and command names in
quotes.
Figure 3-7:
Adding a Command Entry
It is a good idea to add a command to the menu that allows the user to log out of the server. The
Exit
command only works in menu mode. It allows users to return to the Local> prompt on the SCS on which
the menu was configured. It is helpful to include this command in your menus until you have fully tested
them—otherwise there is no way for users on menu mode ports to return to the Local> prompt.
