From the System Main Screen, you can also access other screens, as shown in Figure 3-4.
These screens are described in the following paragraphs.
3.4.3 Service Type Main Screens
Each port type in the system has a port Main Screen associated with it. You can go from the
System Main Screen to any port Main Screen and configure that device. From a port Main
Screen, you can access a Test Screen to perform tests on the port, or (in some cases) a
Performance Monitor Screen to view transmission performance data.
Figure 3-5 shows a typical port Main Screen. The highlighted line at the top of every screen
is the header. It lists the node name of the system, the current port type and abbreviated
description, the port design revision and serial number, and the current system date and time.
The port configuration parameters and current option settings appear in numerous rows and
columns below the header. This region of each screen lists the options on the left and one or
more associated columns of data fields from left to right. You can change the settings in those
fields as required for each port.
The status and data entry change line appears just above the bottom line of the screen. When
you choose a field to edit and press <Enter>, this line shows the currently available option
settings for that field. Make all configuration changes on this line.
