Navigating and Securing the Interface
This chapter covers the following topics:
Configuration menus
You can access the MAX configuration menus in a VT100 emulation window from a computer
or palmtop-controller connected to the control port as described in “Starting up the MAX” on
page 2-13. When you establish the VT100 console session, the Main Edit Menu and eight
status window appear. You can also establish a console session from any Telnet workstation by
opening a Telnet session with the MAX. In a Telnet session you can perform all of the
configuration, diagnostic, management, and other functions that could be performed from a
computer connected to the MAX control port. In either case, access is controlled by Security
profiles, as described in “Security profiles” on page 4-6 for related information.
You can also use the Rem Mgmt command to enable a caller at the far end of an AIM or MPP
call to access the MAX configuration menus.
The Main Edit Menu
The configuration interface consists of the Main Edit Menu and eight status windows. You can
configure the MAX with the Main Edit Menu which is located on the left side of the screen.
The items listed in the Main Edit Menu differ depending on the system configuration. The
Empty items represent expansion slots that do not contain cards as described in
“Understanding menu numbers” on page 4-9.
