Introduction
This chapter describes the menus and options associated with the WANsuite
5650’s VT100 interface. The screens displayed throughout this chapter were
accessed through the Supervisory port.
Accessing the VT100 Interface
You can access the VT100 interface locally via the Supervisory port. To
access the VT100 screens, verify that the Supervisory type is “tty” and that
the Supervisory port speed is set to 38400 bps (the unit’s default port speed).
Screen Components
The VT100 terminal screens have several components common to all screens
(see Figure 3.1 below). These components include the device type (Verilink
WANsuite 5650), which is centered on the screen, the software and hardware
revision numbers (upper left), the time (upper right), the menu title (“Main” in
the figure below), and the serial number under which the unit is operating.

NOTICE: Because the WANsuite 5650 does not employ an internal time chip, the
unit cannot display the actual time of day. Rather, the “Time”
displayed on-screen represents the amount of time that the unit has been
operating since its last power cycle or reset. The unit marks time
beginning at 00:00 with each power cycle.
