3.6 The Menu Hierarchy
The hierarchical menu system is divided into three menus: Configuration, Mainte-
nance and Operation. Each of these menus contains several sub-menus. Some of the
sub-menus may also contain more sub-menus beneath them.
The Top Menu is the highest level in the menu hierarchy. Press the MENU key to go
to the top level at any time and from any point within the menu system. When the
Top Menu is displayed, press the EXIT key to exit the menu mode. Figure 3-5 shows
the available menu items in the Top Menu. The line items in menus and sub-menus
are organized in alphabetical order.

The Configuration menu contains items that may need to be changed when the RLS
is installed. Once the configuration parameters have been correctly set for a given in-
stallation, they are not changed unless something in the system's configuration is
changed. The functions available under the Configuration menu are fully explained in
the RLS-8000 Tape Library Installation and Operation Manual (Qualstar document
number 501500).
