Making configuration changes using the terminal interface
This section provides information about making configuration changes, applying the
changes, and retaining the changes across a power cycle when using the terminal
interface.
Applying the configuration changes
On the terminal interface menus, field entries that can modified are enclosed in
either square brackets ([ ]) or angle brackets (< >).
Square brackets identify an item that you can change by typing in text. As soon as
you begin typing, the current value of the field is erased and is replaced by the new
text. You cannot perform insert or overwrite in the field. You can use the following
special keys while you are editing text fields:
v Arrow keys: These are ignored when you are editing a text field. On a field
v Backspace: Removes a character in front of the cursor.
v Delete: Gives the same result as the Back Space.
v Enter: The text is accepted and the cursor moves to the next field. On a text field
v Esc: Stops editing the field and restores the original data.
