Opening edit fields
To open an edit field for a text-based parameter (such as a password):
1
Press Ctrl-N (next) or the Down-Arrow key and move the cursor to that parameter (for
example, Telnet PW).
2
Press Enter.
An edit field opens, delimited by brackets, as shown under the Telnet PW parameter in the
following example:
90-B00 Mod Config
Module Name=
Ether options...
WAN options...
SNMP options...
OSPF options...
OSPF global options...
Route Pref...
TServ options...
Bridging=No
Shared Prof=No
Telnet PW:
[ ]
ICMP Redirects=Accept
BOOTP Relay...
DNS...
A blinking text cursor within the brackets indicates that you can start typing text. If the field
already contains text, it is cleared when you type a character.
3
To modify only a few characters of existing text, use the arrow keys to position the cursor,
then delete or overwrite the characters. To close the edit field and accept the new text,
press Enter.
For related information, see “Security profiles” on page 4-6.
Setting enumerated parameters
An enumerated parameter has a set of predefined values. You modify it by simply placing the
cursor beside the parameter and pressing the Enter, Return, or the Right-Arrow key until the
proper value appears.
