The Structure of the User Interface

The user interface is organized as a series of menus with an escape to a command
line interface (CLI) shell. Each menu screen presents the switch name (as proved
by the System Identification parameter), Menu Title, Access Level, Alarms
indicator, Sub-Menus and Command Bar.

Sub-menus are entered by selecting the desired menu with the arrow keys and
pressing the enter key. Pressing the escape key ascends to the parent menu.
