q The Esc key is used to maneuver backwards. For example, if you have made

modifications to the settings listed under the serverConfig menu, press the Esc key to

return to the MAIN MENU.

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.

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.
