Using the Menus 61 Use the options on the Main menu as follows: n Select [1] System Administration to access common parameters. n Select [2] Configuration Management to view or set configuration parameters for cards, ports, PVCs, video dialup, and other hardware and software features. n Select [3] Fault Management to view or acknowledge alarms and set loopbacks. n Select [4] Performance Management to view statistical data. n Select [5] Exit to log out. Using the Menus The title of the menu or display appears at the top of the screen. Your access status appears in the upper righthand corner. n Read-Write means that you have Read-Write control of the PathBuilder S330/S310 and can make changes to the system. n Read Only means that you can only monitor the menus and displays. Only one Read/Write session is allowed at any given time. The first session is the Read/Write session. Subsequent simultaneous sessions are Read Only. Navigating through the Menus You select a menu option by typing the selection number and pressing [Enter]. Displays that contain information and no selections include the prompt: Press Esc for previous menu Multi-page displays also prompt you to press "N" for the next page or "P" for the previous page. Only the Main menu contains the Exit selection to log out. Selecting Exit returns you to the title screen with the password prompt. All other menus have a Previous menu selection which returns you to the Main menu one screen at a time. You can also press [Esc] to move back one menu at a time. The auto logout feature automatically logs you out and returns you to the title screen if you do not press a key for a specified time (1 - 99 minutes). To set the autolog timeout, select [1] System Administration from the Main menu, then select [1] General System Information, then select [6] Set Auto Logout Time. Always return to the Main Menu to log out or let the auto logout time expire. Exiting the program in any other way, such as turning power off to the network management station, may cause unpredictable results. Understanding the Menu Hierarchy The PathBuilder S330/S310 menu hierarchy includes several layers of menus. Each submenu has a name that is the same or similar to the name of the option that displays it. For example, selecting [2] Configuration Management on the Main Menu displays a submenu titled Configuration Management, and selecting [4] Manage System Clock from the System Administration menu displays a submenu titled System Clock Configuration. You can then select options on the submenus to display additional submenus or prompts that allow you to set various parameters.
