This chapter explains how to access the System Management Terminal and gives an overview
of its menus.

32.1 Introduction to the SMT

The ZyWALL's SMT (System Management Terminal) is a menu-driven interface that you can
access from a terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection. This
chapter shows you how to access the SMT (System Management Terminal) menus via console
port, how to navigate the SMT and how to configure SMT menus.

32.2 Accessing the SMT via the Console Port

Make sure you have the physical connection properly set up as described in the Quick Start
Guide.
When configuring using the console port, you need a computer equipped with
communications software configured to the following parameters:
• VT100 terminal emulation.
• 9600 Baud.
• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, flow control set to none.

32.2.1 Initial Screen

When you turn on your ZyWALL, it performs several internal tests as well as line
initialization.
After the tests, the ZyWALL asks you to press [ENTER] to continue, as shown next.
