Chapter 3 Basic Configuration Figure 3-2 CLI Page Example Entering Basic Settings Selecting Pages and Settings When you enter names and settings that appear in brackets you go to that page or setting. HyperTerminal goes to the page or setting as soon as it recognizes a unique name, so you need to enter only the first few characters in the page or setting name. To go from the home page to the Setup page, for example, you would only need to enter s. To return to the home page, you only need to press =. Applying Changes to the Configuration The console interface's auto-apply feature is on by default, so changes you make to any page are applied automatically when you move to another management page. To apply changes and stay on the current page, you only need to enter ap and press Enter.
