Introduction
This chapter describes the menus and options associated with the WANsuite
5260/5230’s VT100 interface. The screens displayed throughout this chapter
were accessed through a TELNET session and are, for the most part,
WANsuite 5260 screens. However, where there are significant differences
between the 5260 and 5230 screens, both are displayed.
NOTICE:
The material presented in this chapter follows the order in which the
screens are presented in the VT100 interface. However, because the
parameters you specify in the Service Table attach protocols to
interfaces, you must configure the Service Table first. (See Service
Table Screen on page 4-18.) You will not be able to allocate channels
(see Channel Table Details Screen on page 4-22) until the Service
Table has been configured.
Accessing the VT100 Interface
You can access the VT100 interface locally via the Supervisory port or
remotely through a TELNET session. To access the VT100 screens locally,
verify the Supervisory type is “tty” and the Supervisory port speed matches
the terminal emulation program that’s being used. (Port speeds supported
include the following: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200 bps.) You can access the VT100 interface remotely by opening a
TELNET session, entering the unit’s IP address, and connecting to the unit.
Screen Components
The VT100 terminal screens have several components common to all screens
(see Figure 4.1 below). These components include the device type (in the
example below, Verilink WANsuite 5260), which is centered on the screen,
the software and hardware revision numbers (upper left), the date and time
(upper right), the menu title (“Main” in the figure below), and the serial
number under which the unit is operating.
