Introducing the SMT
This chapter explains how to access the System Management Terminal and gives an overview of its
menus.
21.1 Introduction to the SMT
The ZyWALL’s SMT (System Management Terminal) is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a
terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection. This chapter shows you how to access
the SMT (System Management Terminal) menus via console port, how to navigate the SMT and how to
configure SMT menus.
21.2 Accessing the SMT via the Console Port
Make sure you have the physical connection properly set up as described in the hardware installation chapter.
When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with communications software
configured to the following parameters:
♦ VT100 terminal emulation.
♦ 9600 Baud.
♦ No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, flow control set to none.
