functions. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep using the Setup Tool for configuration purposes.
6.3.1.3 GUI Menus
Sub-menus contain configuration options for your device (displayed in the navigation bar found in the left-hand side
of the window).
6.3.2 The Setup Tool for experts
The Setup Tool is a menu-controlled ASCII tool used to configure and manage your device. In addition to granting
access to SNMP commands, it allows configuration parameters to be entered.
To start the Setup Tool, you can connect to the device any way you like. It does not matter whether you connect to
the device via the LAN or via a serial connection.
Proceed as follows to start a Setup Tool session:
(1)
Log in to your device as admin (see
on page 20).
(2)
Enter setup after the input prompt and press
Return
.
The main menu of the ASCII Setup Tool opens.

The main menu layout may vary depending on the configuration level of your device. Every Setup Tool menu con-
tains three areas:
• The menu line contains a navigation aid detailing your current position in the Setup Tools menu system. The sys-
tem name of your device is also displayed. This is especially helpful if you are using several Teldat devices with
different system names.
• The configuration window is where the actual entries are made and the respective settings displayed. Inverted col-
ors show the field where the cursor is.
• The help line tells you how to move around in the current menu, the entries you can change, and suggests pos-
sible values for an entry.
Basically, a menu looks like this:
