1. NAVIGATING THE TERMINAL MENU

Terminal Menu Window

The unit uses a multi-level menu structure that contains both menu items and data fields. All menu items

and data fields display in the terminal menu window (see Figure 1), through which you have complete

control of the unit.

Figure 1. Top-Level Terminal Menu Window

Menu Path

The first line of the terminal menu window (the menu path) shows the session’s current position (path) in

the menu structure. For example, Figure 1 shows the top-level menu with the cursor on the System Info

submenu; therefore, the menu path reads TA 624 IAD/System Info.

Window Panes

When you first start a terminal menu session, the terminal menu window is divided into left and right

panes. The left pane shows the list of available submenus, while the right pane shows the contents of the

currently selected submenu.

All figures in this section will be representative of the Total Access 624 unit.
