8 User Interfaces

This section describes the three user interfaces (UIs) that can be used to configure, manage, and
monitor the VLS over the web, remotely over the LAN, or through a serial connection. It also provides
instructions on how to open and close a connection to the VLS for each type of user interface.

User Interface Requirements

VLS user interfaces
Command View VLS should be used in most circumstances. It is the most intuitive and easiest to
learn and use.
Multiple user interface sessions may be open at once.
