5.2 Operation via the Text Interface

When using the text interface (via Telnet, local PC via Hyperterminal, or modem),
all switching functions are performed by invoking simple ASCII commands. ASCII
commands are also used to display status screens and to log out of command
mode. The text interface includes a Help menu that summarizes all available
power manager commands. To display the text interface Help menu (Figure 5-2),
type /H and press Enter.
