Introduction
This chapter describes the menus and options associated with the WANsuite
6450’s 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. The default for the Supervisory Port is 19200, 8, N, 1. (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. All screens in this
chapter were captured during a TELNET session.
Screen Components
The VT100 terminal screens have components common to all screens (see

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.
