CrossFire 8650/8651 UEM Guide to Operation, DOC-7090 v. 1.0
3. Console Configuration
General Guidelines
To work within the console menus, follow these guidelines:
•
To select a menu item, use the arrow keys to move the “highlight” over the
selection, then press
ENTER
.
•
If you need to specify additional information for any item—for example,
selecting
Yes
or
No
or supplying a value—a prompt appears on the screen. If
you want to exit the prompt without changing the value, press
ESC
.
•
In most cases, new values are saved when you select
Return
.
•
The term “More” means there is more information than currently displayed on
that screen. Selecting
More
and pressing
ENTER
displays the next screen of
information. If the screen is a one-screen display, selecting
More
will update
the screen.
•
The term “Port” refers to the number of a specific port on a CrossFire 8600 or
8605 Switch.
•
“Index” refers to the numerical order of a list.
•
To return to the main menu from any screen within the menus, press
CTRL-P
.
Note that any changes made to the screen you were in are not saved. To return
to the greeting screen, press
CTRL-B
from any screen.
•
To refresh the console panel at any time, press
CTRL-L
.
•
If you are administering switches in a stack, many of the console screens will
prompt for a box number. Enter the number of the box you want to administer
to continue. The box that you are physically connected to is highlighted.
•
The console automatically returns to the greeting screen after five minutes of
inactivity. Five minutes is the default value. The time can be changed at the
Console Configuration
menu. The
Console Configuration
menu is within
the
Configuration
menu, under the main menu.
•
For protection against inadvertent or unauthorized access to configuration
screens, you can set a password that users must enter at the Greeting screen. If
no password is configured, just press
ENTER
and the main menu is presented.
Navigating the Menus
Use the arrow keys (also referred to as cursor keys) to move the highlight over a
selection. If the selection is a menu, pressing the
ENTER
key displays a new screen
of information; if the selection is a command, such as
Reset
, pressing the
ENTER
key initiates that function.
A heading with three “dots” after it means that when that heading is selected, a
submenu or screen is displayed. Unless specified differently, all screens or menus
are accessed in the same way.
