Configuration (see Section II) and management (see Section III) operations are
accessed via a menu structure, using a keyboard and video device. Once the Smart-
Switch has been configured and is operational, it does not need a keyboard and video
device; however, they are necessary to get the unit up and running.
When running outside the menu operations, a display will be similar to the following
figure, and will show the current status of all ports on the node. (This display is
described in detail on
.)
Figure 2-3 Port Status Display
Node Name
at the upper right identifies the device under control of the key-
board and screen. If the device is a directly connected SmartSwitch 1800,
the ID will be the
Node Name
configured in the
file. (See
Chapter 4.) If an operator takes
(see page 19-1) of another
SmartSwitch 1800 or some other type of Cabletron frame relay access
device,
Node Name
will become the
Remote Control ID
configured in Node
Defaults on the controlled device. Any configuration or control operations
will affect that device rather than the local one. If the controlled device has
a display screen, the message
Under remote control. Keyboard blocked by
id="n"
will be displayed, where "
n
" is the
Remote Control ID
of the con-
trolling device.
After the operator presses
[F1]
at the screen in Figure 2-3 and enters a password
), the Main Menu (
) will appear.
