Submenus
Submenus go to deeper levels in the menu hierarchy. They provide additional
configuration menus. Menu items that contain submenus have a plus sign (
+
) next to
their menu item number. In this example, menu item
02
will display a submenu.
Some submenus require a selection from a list and then re-display the previous menu
showing the selection. Other submenus have their own submenus that request
additional information. After saving the entries, the top-level menu re-appears.
Toggles
Toggles display two or more values that can be selected for a parameter. Toggles
have an asterisk (
*
) next to their menu item number. Entering the menu item number
toggles to the next selection.
In this example, menu items
06
and
07
are toggles.
For
06*TCP Default Window Size

200

. For
07*TCP Send Ahead

ON
and
OFF

Data
Data menu items request text entries (such as destination names and card
descriptions) or numeric values (such as port numbers and IP addresses). To enter
information in a data menu item, enter the menu item number followed by a comma
(or a space) and the configuration information.
In this example, the menu item requires an IP address entry.
To enter an IP address of 172.016.002.043, enter the following:
1,172.016.002.043
The menu re-appears with the entered IP address.
To change configuration data that has been entered for a menu item, enter the menu
item number followed by a comma and the new data.
