Configuration (described in Section II) and management (Section III) operations are
accessed via a menu structure, using the keyboard and video device. Once the FRX
has been configured and is operational, it does not need the keyboard and video
device; however, they are necessary to get the unit up and running.
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
