Using the MAX VT100 interface
The MAX VT100 interface provides access to the configuration menus. For complete
information about using this interface, see Chapter 4, “Navigating and Securing the Interface.”
To set up the interface, see “Starting up the MAX” on page 2-13.
After communication has been established between the MAX and your console, your screen
displays the MAX configuration interface screen Figure 3-4, which comprises an Edit menu
and eight status displays. You use the Edit menu to configure the MAX, and you can use the
status windows to monitor its activities. (If the configuration screen does not appear, press
Ctrl-L.)
Note that the items listed in the Main Edit Menu differ, depending on the system configuration.
In Figure 3-4, the
