VT100
This chapter describes the additional management
tasks you can perform using VT100®. For an overview
of the management you can perform and the
different ways you can make a management
connection to the hub, see
Chapter 3
.
Only the additional management screens are
described in this chapter. For information on what
the other screens do, refer to the corresponding
Quick Config Manager screen
s
in
Chapter 4
.
The
VT100 Screen Map on
page 5-5
includes these
references.
This chapter starts with an overview of the VT100
user interface. A map of all the screens is given, to
help you to access any chosen screen.

chapter, the default values are underlined.
VT100 User Interface
We suggest you read through this section before you
use the hub’s VT100 facility for the first time.
Afterwards, you should only need it for reference.
Screens
Screens are divided into three main areas:
The header area, at the top of the screen, displays a
title which tells you the subject of the screen.
The main part of the screen shows management
information.
The message area, at the bottom of the screen, is
used to display information and error messages.
The displayed screens may not be identical to those
illustrated in this chapter. The contents of screens
depend on your access level
.
Access levels are
described in
“Logon” on page 5-7
.
