NOTE: If the default address of 192.168.1.1 does not work, use the
terminal-emulator procedure to communicate with the unit
through the
COM1

displayed on the Starting Information Screen ( Figure 2-6 on
Page 23 ).
2.1.4 Navigating the Menus
Navigating with a Web browser is straightforward with a framed page.
The primary navigation menu is permanently located in the left-hand
window. The right-hand window displays the current menu item.
The text-based interface, accessible through Telnet or terminal emu-
lator, uses a traditional multi-layered text menu system. To move further
down a path in the menu tree, type the letter key to the left of the menu
item. You will automatically move to the associated screen. In most
cases, use the
ESCAPE
key to move back up a level.
In general, the top portion of the screen shows read-only information
with no user selection letter. The bottom portion of the screen contains
parameters that can be selected for further information, alteration of
values, or to navigate to other menus.
