Instruction manual

1. NAVIGATING THE TERMINAL MENUS

terminal (or PC with VT100 emulator) and the DB-9

CRAFT port located on the front panel of the unit or

the

ADMIN port on the rear panel of the unit. Configure the terminal settings for 9600 data rate, no parity, 8

data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

After you connect to the unit, a login screen appears. The default password for the ATLAS 800 Series is

password (all lower case). (Refer to DLP-2, System Login and Menu Access, for detailed instructions.)

Terminal Menu Window

After you log in, all menu items and data fields are displayed in the terminal menu window, through which

you have complete control of the ATLAS 800 Series (see Figure 1).

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

ATLAS 830/SYSTEM INFO.

Window Panes

When first starting 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.

For simplicity, only the ATLAS 830 is used in examples throughout this section.
