The HotWire DSLAM uses an ASCII-based text format for its menus and screens.
This section describes the components of a typical HotWire menu and screen.
A typical HotWire menu format looks like this:
1. Menu Title is the top line of the menu window that displays the title of the
menu or submenu.
2. Menu List is the portion of the menu window that displays the list of menu
options. When selected, a menu option displays a submenu window or
screen.
3. Letter Navigation Keys are provided within a menu list. These keys provide
a convenient way (short cut) to select a menu item.
For example, from the HotWire – MCC menu illustrated above, you can
simply press the A key to select the Configuration menu item. The
Configuration menu appears. You can then press the G key to select the DSL
Cards menu item. This action displays the DSL Cards menu. (You can also
use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select a menu item. See
Used Navigation Keys
4. To back up one menu level, press Ctrl-z. To go to the Home screen, press
Ctrl-a.
