RuggedCom RS900 Switch User Manual


 
Table Of Contents
Making Configuration Changes
When changing a data item the user selects the data item by the cursor keys and
then pressing the enter key. The cursor will change position to allow editing of
the data item.
Typing a new value after pressing enter always erases the old parameter value. The
left and right cursor keys may be used to position the edit point without erasing
the old parameter value. The up and down cursor keys may be used to cycle
through the next higher and lower values for the parameter.
After the parameter has been edited, press enter again to change other parameters.
When all desired parameters have been modified, press <CTRL> A to apply
changes. The switch will automatically prompt you to save changes when you
leave a menu in which changes have been made.
Some menus will require you to press <CTRL> I to insert a new record of
information and <CTRL> L to delete a record.
Updates Occur In Real Time
All configuration and display menus present the values at the current instant,
automatically updating if changed from other user interface sessions or SNMP.
All statistics menus will display changes to statistics as they occur.
Alarm Indications Are Provided
Alarms are events for which the user is notified through the Diagnostics menu
View Alarms command. All configuration and display menus present an
indication of the number of alarms (in the upper right hand corner of the screen)
as they occur, automatically updating as alarms are posted and cleared.
The CLI Shell
The user interface provides a shell for operations that are more easily performed at
the command line. You may switch back and forth from the menu system and
shell by pressing <CTRL> S. For more information on the capabilities of the
shell consult Chapter 10 - Using The CLI Shell.
