This chapter describes the screen structure and menu controls for the Verilink
PRISM 4051 terminal interface. The interface is an embedded firmware
application program.
It requires an ANSI-compatible VT100 terminal (ASCII), or a computer running
an ANSI terminal emulation program. The terminal interface uses ASCII break
and escape functions, which are implemented differently with the various terminal
emulation programs.
Terminal interface screens have several components common to all screens
(Figure 4-1).
Device Type and Revision
The device type (such as PRISM 4051) and the revision control numbers are
shown in the upper left corner. The first number is the hardware revision and the
second number is the software revision. Information is displayed for the near end
unit (connected directly to the terminal) on the top line, and for the far-end unit
(connected to the network DDS interface) on the second line. Refer to this
information when contacting the factory with inquiries.
