Operation
OVERVIEW
The HDLC Module menus can be viewed from two sources, as shown in
Table 3-1. The
ATLAS User Manual
provides detailed instructions on
operating each of the supported management approaches. The remain-
der of this chapter describes the menu items available for managing the
HDLC Module using the terminal menu.
TERMINAL MENU STRUCTURE
ATLAS uses a form of hierarchical menus to access all of its features. The
top-most menu level leads to submenus which are grouped by functional-
ity. All submenu options display in the VT-100 terminal window.
You can use the
M
ODULES
terminal menu to view the HDLC Module sta-
tus and menus (see Figure 3-1). The
M
ODULES
menu option
T
YPE
shows
the HDLC Module as HDLC-128. The following sections describe the
associated
M
ODULES
menu and submenus.
