Keypad and LCD Display

The keypad and LCD display provide an interface for the local user to access the menus
that configure and operate the switch. The keypad includes:

• Numbers 0 through 9
• Decimal
• [ENT]
• [F1] and [F2]
• [NEXT]
• [PREV]


The last four keys specified control the hierarchical menu structure. Menus provide for
local setup, configuration, and operation. Each menu contains a portion of the switch
control or setup algorithm. Only a limited knowledge of the switch is required, as the
menus are self-prompting and all options are displayed.

The base levels of this tree-structured front panel menu are as follows:

• ID menu displayed at power-on
• SYSTEM and MODEM SETUP menu
• MODEM CONFIGURATION menu
