Entering or Changing Parameter Values in
Configuration Screens
Throughout the configuration screens, there are ‘‘type-in’’ and ‘‘select an
option’’ parameter data fields. For example:
Circuit Name : ETHER1______
This is a ‘‘type-in’’ field in which you provide a value. Type-In fields
are always underlined. Fill in a blank underlined field or type over
the existing entry. Any underlines you see at the end of existing text
indicate how long the entry may be. To correct a mistake, use the
backspace key (not the [Delete] key) to reposition the cursor, and then
retype. When you finish typing an entry, press [Return] to terminate it
and move on to the next field or option. Notice that if you are typing
over one entry with another, shorter entry, you should not try to
delete the extra characters; just press [Return] after typing the last valid
character in the string. Any characters remaining from the old string
will be truncated. For example, if you were to replace an internet
address of 100.100.100.10 in the IP Network Interface Definitions
screen with another address of 10.10.10.1, you would just type the
second address over the first and press [Enter]. (The remaining ‘‘0.10’’
from the first address would be truncated when you pressed [Enter].)
Auto Enable : Yes
This is a ‘‘Select an Option’’ field, which always displays a current
setting that is one of a number of preprogrammed options. Use the
[>] or [<] key to move through the supplied options. When the option
you choose is displayed, press [Return] to enter it. This also moves the
cursor to the next menu, screen, or prompt.
Original Address String: 100.100.100.10_
After New Entry Typed: 10.10.10.10.10_ (‘‘0.10’’ is excess)
After You Press [Return]: 10.10.10.1 ([Return] truncates the excess)
