NAVIGATING THE TERMINAL MENU

To access the terminal menus and management features of the Total Access 850, connect the unit to a
VT100 terminal (or VT100 terminal emulator) via the interface on the front of the unit or the rear
CRAFT
interface on the backplane. Configure the terminal settings for 9600 data rate, no parity, 8 data
CRAFT
bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
After connecting to the unit and beginning a terminal session, a login screen appears. There is no default
password for the Total Access 850; press to access the terminal menus. (Refer to DLP-2, Logging
<E >
NTER
in to the System for detailed instructions.)

Terminal Menu Window

After logging in, all menu items and data fields are displayed in the terminal menu window (see Figure 1),
through which you have complete control of the Total Access 850.

Menu Path
The first line of the terminal menu window (the menu path) shows the session's current position (path) in
the menu structure. For example, Figure 1 shows the top-level menu with the cursor on the S C
YSTEM ONFIG
submenu; therefore, the menu path reads T A 850/S C .

Window Panes

When you first start a terminal menu session, the terminal menu window is divided into left and right
panes. The left pane shows the list of available submenus, while the right pane shows the contents of the
currently selected submenu.
You can view the terminal windows in two ways: with fields and submenus displaying horizontally across
the right pane, or with fields and submenus displaying vertically down the right pane. Viewing submenus
vertically rather than horizontally allows you to see information at a glance rather than scrolling
