Selecting Menu
Options
To select a menu option, you enter its number or its mnemonic identifier
at the prompt symbol (
>
) that is displayed below the menu item list. You
need to enter the first unique characters of the mnemonic identifier.
The hierarchical path from the Main Menu down to the currently
displayed submenu option is displayed in front of the angle bracket
prompt. This convention helps you orient yourself in the menu hierarchy.
Example — Changing
a Password
To illustrate how to work with the menu system, the example in this
section changes the read-access password. This example is shown in
Figure 3. The following command description guides you through the
execution of the command. It specifies the menu sequence to enter, the
parameters to enter and their format, the command results, and any
system messages. A similar command description format is provided for
each command in this manual.
Entering the Menu Sequence
First, enter the menu sequence in the order shown in section A of the
“Command Description” on page 18 in the About This Guide section. In
this example, you enter the menu item numbers, but you can enter the
three-letter mnemonic code instead.
