The menu-driven user interface built into the device is
known as the VT100 or Local Management interface.
The VT100 management interface has a forms-based
structure with pre-defined security levels, enabling
access to be restricted to particular users.
Accessing and navigating the local screens is
described in the manual which accompanies your IBM
8271 Nways Ethernet LAN switch.
Screen Map
Figure 7-1 on page 7-2 provides a map of available
local management screens. The screens shaded gray
appear when the ATM Module is installed. If these
screens do not appear, your ATM Module is not
installed correctly.
Keyboard Shortcuts
There are several special characters or combinations
of keyboard characters that allow you to navigate
within the screens.
[Ctrl] + [K] displays a list of the available key strokes.
Correcting Text Entry
Use [Delete] on a VT100 terminal or [Backspace] on a
PC. This moves the cursor one space to the left and
deletes a character.
If you are using Telnet or a terminal emulation
program you may find that some of the Control keys
do not operate or that they activate other functions.
Check carefully in the manual accompanying your
Telnet or terminal emulation software before using
the Control keys.
