User Interface

The menu selection deﬁned in this example does the following:

1. The following text displays on line 5 of the menu choices window:

OPEN TELNET SESSION

2. When you press the Return key, the following prompt displays in the

directions and user input window:

ENTER HOST NAME OR IP ADDRESS

3. The next step depends on whether you simply press the Return key or type a

host name or address before pressing the Return key.

- If you press the Return key without typing a host name or address, the

access server executes the CONNECT TELNET command with the default

string:

CONNECT TELNET 16.195.1.1

- If you type a host name or IP address and then press the Return key, the

access server executes the CONNECT TELNET command with the

speciﬁed name or address.

Displaying a Selected Menu

The ENTER MENU command enables you to display any menu that is enabled on

the port. If the port is privileged, you can enter a menu whether or not it is

enabled on the port.

For example, if the menu HOSTS is enabled on the current port, you enter the

following command to display this menu:

Local> ENTER MENU HOSTS

The menu display has item numbers for all menu lines that have display and

execute strings. The item numbers are in order (1, 2, 3, etc.) and usually do not

match the line numbers used in SET MENU LINE commands or SHOW MENU

displays.

If the port is type ANSI, menu items can be selected by either using the up- and

down-arrow keys or by entering the item number. To use the arrow keys, press

the up- or down-arrow key until the desired item is highlighted and press Return.

If the port is type SOFTCOPY or HARDCOPY, you can still enter a menu but the

arrow keys are disabled. Enter the item number to select a menu item.
