Introduction
This chapter describes the menus and options associated with the FrameStart
FSM’s VT100 interface. The screens displayed throughout this chapter were
accessed through a TELNET session.
NOTICE: The material presented in this chapter follows the order in which the
screens are presented in the VT100 interface. However, because the
parameters you specify in the Service Table attach protocols to
interfaces, you must configure the Service Table first. (See Service
Table Screen on page 4-17.) You will not be able to allocate channels
(see Channel Table Details Screen on page 4-19) until the Service
Table has been configured.
Accessing the VT100 Interface
You can access the VT100 interface locally via the Supervisory port or
remotely through a TELNET session. To access the VT100 screens locally,
verify the Supervisory type is “tty” and the Supervisory port speed matches
the terminal emulation program that’s being used. (Port speeds supported
include the following: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200 bps.) You can access the VT100 interface remotely by opening a
TELNET session, entering the unit’s IP address, and connecting to the unit.
Screen Components
The VT100 terminal screens have several components common to all screens
(see below). These components include the device type, which is centered on
the screen, the software and hardware revision numbers (upper left), the date
and time (upper right), the menu title (“Main” in the figure below), and the
serial number under which the unit is operating. Except for the Main screen
shown in Figure 4.2, the screen captures throughout this chapter show only
the configuration portion of the screen and not the screen components.
