Menu

The Menu is a window-oriented Terminal Server configuration and user access option. To
manage the Terminal Server, you will also need to use the CLI, WebManager, or
DeviceManager, as you cannot download or upload files to the Terminal Server through the
Menu.

Accessing the Menu

Menu access is available to any user whose Line Service is set to DSLogin, and whose User
Service is set to DSPrompt. What the user sees depends on what the User Level is set to:
Menu—Users with
them. They can start predefined sessions, kill (stop) a running session, resume a session,
and logout of the Terminal Server.
Restricted—Users with
Menu user, except that they have the option of performing these tasks via the Menu or the
CLI.
Normal—Users with
start a free session (connecting to any host on the network), set up their own user
parameters (sessions, password, language, hotkey prefix), define their terminal, and become
the Admin user (if they know the Admin password).
Admin—Users with
Terminal Server, the same as the Admin user. Through the Menu program, the Admin level
user can configure the Terminal Server, although there are several tasks that can only be
done in the CLI, such as downloading and uploading files and saving the configuration to
FLASH.

Menu Conventions

You select an option from the Menu by using the keyboard up and down arrows to navigate the
list. When the menu item you want to access is highlighted, press the
the next list of options or to get the configuration screen, depending on what you select. When
you are done configuring parameters in a screen, press the
again to
a screen, at which point you will be prompted with
discard your changes or
changes.
If there are a number of predefined options available for a field, you can scroll through those
items by pressing the
up/down arrows to highlight the option you want, and then press

DHCP/BOOTP

If you have a DHCP/BOOTP server and the Terminal Server's Server Service DHCP/BOOTP is
enabled, the Terminal Server can obtain its IP address and several configuration parameters
from the DHCP/BOOTP server when it boots up. However, you must use another method for
creating the configuration file, like the DeviceManager, WebManager, or the CLI. See
DHCP/BOOTP Parameters on page 54
that can be set for the Terminal Server.
When DHCP/BOOTP is enabled and there is a DHCP/BOOTP server within the network, the IP
Address obtained from DHCP/BOOTP will always override the Terminal Server's configured IP
Address when the Terminal Server is rebooted.
