NPort Server Lite User’s Manual A-3
When you first activate the Telnet Console Utility’s MAIN MENU, you may find that the
arrow keys on your keyboard initially have no effect on the cursor. If that’s the case, first
click on Terminal, located on the Telnet menu bar, and then choose Preferences.
The Terminal Preferences window opens up, allowing you to select various options that
affect the function of the keyboard. Make sure that the box next to VT100 Arrows (in the
lower left hand corner of the window) is checked, and then click OK to return to the Telnet
Console window.
Telnet Console Menu Functions
The Telnet Console MAIN MENU has seven menu categories related to the operation of
NPort Server Lite. They are: serverConfig, Serialport, Diagnostic, Monitor, Ping,
Restart, and Exit. In this section we describe their purpose and use.
serverConfig Options
Using the left/right arrow keys, maneuver the cursor so that severConfig is highlighted,
and then press Enter to display twelve NPort Server Lite attributes. Note that the attribute
names are listed in the left column, and the current settings are given to the right of each
name.
Attributes that can be edited are enclosed in square brackets, and those that can’t be edited
are not enclosed in brackets. Furthermore, there are two types of configurable attributes,
those with a large number of possible settings, and those with only two or three possible
settings.
