MAX User Interfaces
Using configuration menus
MAX 3000 Installation and Basic Configuration Guide

Using configuration menus
When you establish the VT100 console session, the VT100 interface appears. Regardless of
whether you establish the session through Telnet or the control port, the VT100 interface
consists of the Main Edit Menu (and its submenus), which are used for MAX configuration,
and eight status windows.
This section describes how the configuration menus are arranged and how to use them.
The factory-default security settings on the MAX permit unlimited access to the VT100
interface. You need to alter the default settings to secure the unit’s configuration, as described
in “Securing the MAX from unauthorized configuration changes” on page 4-3.
Main Edit Menu
Figure 3-1 shows the Main Edit Menu and status windows for the T1 version of the MAX. To
configure the MAX, you use the Main Edit Menu, which is located on the left side of the
screen. The items listed in the Main Edit Menu differ, depending on the system configuration
and model. The items labeled Empty represent expansion slots that do not contain cards.

Menu numbers and corresponding ports and slots
For the purpose of organizing the Main Edit Menu, every port on the MAX unit is assigned to
a real or virtual slot, and each slot is assigned a number in the Main Edit Menu. Even the
system itself is considered a slot, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Depending on the model, the MAX has 6 BRI ports, 2 T1 or 2 E1 ports, a drop and insert T1
port, a LAN/UTP (Ethernet) port, and a serial port for WAN access. It also has two expansion
slots. (For information about supported expansion cards, see “Checking the expansion cards”
on page 1-4.)
