Introduction to Menu Operations

Introduction to Netlink Frame Relay Access Devices
The FRX/FRM user interface consists of a series of menus and sub-menus that are
used to configure, control, and monitor a node. To protect the system from unautho-
rized access, menu operations are accessible only after the operator enters a password.
When running outside the menu operations, a display will be similar to the following
figure, and will show the current status of all ports on the node. (This display is
described in detail on page 17-3.)
