Using the Supervisor

User Interface
The V100 provides either a formatted menu control structure for interactive user control, or a simple
Teletype mode for interface to a network management system. The use of the formatted supervisor is
described here; the Teletype mode is described in a separate manual supplement.
In formatted mode, the unit is configured by moving around the menus using the cursor keys and
selecting from a choice of available options for each parameter. The current cursor position is highlighted
in most terminal emulations. There are also a number of keys, which may be used as a shortcut or to
access additional features. The keys are summarised below, with key names represented between
chevrons, e.g. <SPACE> for the spacebar, <CR> for Carriage Return or Enter.
The unit is configured using an asynchronous terminal or PC running Windows™ 95/98/2000/XP
HyperTerminal, connected to the dedicated DB9F port on the back panel marked "SUPERVISOR". On the
"Connect To" tab, HyperTerminal should be configured to use COM1 and on the "Settings" tab, the
Function, arrow and ctrl keys should be set to act as terminal keys:
