MAX User Interfaces
Using configuration menus
The following characters have special meaning when you use the VT100 interface:
•
The plus character (+) indicates that an input entry is too long to fit onto one line, and that
the MAX is truncating it for display.
•
An ellipsis (...) means that a submenu displays the details of a menu option. The MAX
unit displays the submenu when you select the menu option.
Activating menus or status windows
You can interact with only one window at a time. The active window has a thick, double-line
border on the left, right, and top sides.
If you press the Tab key, the thick double lines move to 00-200, the next screen to the right. If
you continue pressing the Tab key, you successively activate each window from left to right
and down, until you reach the last window in the lower right-hand corner. Back-Tab or Ctrl-O
moves you in the opposite direction.
Opening menus and profiles
The Main Edit Menu contains a list of menus, each of which can contain profiles and
submenus. In the menu that is currently open, the cursor character (>) points to one item in the
menu. For example, in the following Main Edit Menu, the cursor points to the Net/T1 menu
item.
