Introducing the SMT
This chapter shows you how to use the SMT (System Management Terminal) to configure the VES.
14.1 Introduction to the SMT
T he VES’s SMT (System Management Terminal) is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a terminal
emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection. This chapter shows you how to access the SMT
(System Management Terminal) menus via console port, how to navigate the SMT and how to configure SMT
menus.
14.2 Accessing the SMT via the Console Port
Make sure you have the physical connection properly set up as described in the hardware installation chapter.
When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with communications software configured
to the following parameters:
VT100 terminal emulation
9600 bps
No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
No flow control
14.3 Initial Screen
When you turn on your VES, it performs several internal tests and initializes the ports. After the initialization, the
VES asks you to press
