Selecting Menu
Options
When in session, the management agent offers a series of menus. You may
select from a variety of options to view statistics or control AT-3600 activities.
There are two ways to make menu selections:
❑
If the options are numbered, type the appropriate number and press
the
RETURN/ENTER
key.
❑
If the options are not numbered, type enough of the option name to
distinguish it from the other options. For example, if the options are:
Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Gremlin
make a choice by typing either
A
,
B
,
GA
or
GR
. You can also enter “
?
” to display
a HELP screen.
Making a menu choice often leads to another submenu. You can either make a
choice from the new menu, or return to the previous menu by pressing
RETURN, ESC
or
CTL+C
.
A few menus (e.g., Port Status Menu for modules with high port count)
cannot fit on a single screen. In this case the management agent displays
“
more...
” on the screen. The remaining text will be displayed when you type
“
m
.”
All menus and messages are multilingual—you can choose a preferred human
language from the following:
❑
English
❑
French
❑
German
❑
Italian
❑
Spanish
❑
Japanese
You can change the active language by using the
Language
command under
the Administration Menu. You can access this command only when the AT-S4
firmware cartridge is installed.
The Main Menu lists the installed and active AT-3600 modules, enabling you
to control any module from a single terminal connected to the Master.
Conceptually, it is as though you are given a “window” into a single module
and can, through the Main Menu, switch the “window” from one module to
another.
You can assign symbolic names to the hub’s resources. Each module may have
a name, as well as each port on each module, and the hub as a whole may have
its own name. Symbolic names may be up to 20 characters in length; they are
saved in non-volatile memory so that they survive power failures.
