to show the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds the MAX has been operating. For
example:
Up: 12:17:18:26
When the Sys Options window is active, you can use the arrow keys to scroll down and display
the list of system options. Appearing, for example, are the software load name, various
installed-software options (such as Frame Relay and BONDING), and the AuthServer and
AcctServer options, which specify the IP addresses of the RADIUS (or TACACS)
authentication server and the RADIUS accounting server.
The last status window contains the Main Status Menu, a hierarchical menu that contains an
entry for each line or installed card in the MAX. The structure of the Main Status Menu exactly
follows the Main Edit Menu (the top-level configuration menu).
When the window that displays the Main Status Menu is active, the menu works like the Main
Edit Menu. Use the arrow keys to scroll to a particular status menu. Then press the Enter key to
open that menu and the Escape key to close it.
Specifying which status windows appear
You can specify which status windows the VT100 interface displays. The total number of
status windows is always limited to eight, but you can set parameters to focus on a selected
area of functionality. (For details about the windows you can choose to display and the
information in each one, see the
MAX
Reference.)
To specify which status window appears on the VT100 interface, proceed as follows:
1
From the Main Edit Menu, select System > Sys Config.
2
Press the Down Arrow key to scroll to the Status # parameter(s) in the status window(s)
you want to customize. (For example, the MAX displays the line-status window for the T1
or E1 line in Slot 1 as window 1 by default.) Continue with step 3 and step 4 to
reconfigure the MAX to use status window 3 (for example) to display the line-status
window for the T1 (or E1) line.
3
For the Status 3 parameter, specify the number identifying the status window menu you
want to display. For example:
Status 3=10-100
Note:
Every menu and submenu has an identifying number (for example, 20-100, or
20-200). You can scroll through the Main Status Menu to get the identifying status
numbers.
4
Save and close the System profile.
When the MAX resets, the status windows appears with the new selections.
For more details about slot, line, and port numbers, see the Network Configuration Guide.
