CHAPTER 5:  Configuration

Configuration Menus
Although the Web Browser Interface and Text Interface provide two separate means 
for selecting parameters, both interfaces allow access to the same set of basic 
parameters, and parameters selected via one interface will also be applied to the 
other.  To access the configuration menus, proceed as follows:
•  Text Interface:  Refer to the Help Screen (/H) and then enter the appropriate 
command to access the desired menu.  When the configuration menu appears, 
key in the number for the parameter you wish to define, and follow the 
instructions in the resulting submenu.
•  Web Browser Interface:  Use the links and fly-out menus on the left hand of 
the screen to access the desired configuration menu.  To change parameters, 
click in the desired field and key in the new value or select a value from the 
pull-down menu.  To apply newly selected parameters, click on the "Change 
Parameters" button at the bottom of the menu or the "Set" button next to  
the field.
The following sections describe options and parameters that can be accessed via each 
of the configuration menus.  Please note that in most cases, essentially the same set 
of parameters and options are available to both the Web Browser Interface and  
Text Interface.
Notes:
•  Configuration menus are only available when you have logged 
into command mode using a password that permits Administrator 
Level commands.  SuperUser accounts are able to view 
configuration menus, but are not allowed to change parameters.
•  Configuration menus are not available when you are 
communicating with the Outlet Managed PDU via PDA
•  When defining parameters via the Text Interface, make certain 
to press the [Esc] key to completely exit from the configuration 
menu and save newly defined parameters.  When parameters 
are defined via the Text Interface, newly defined parameters will 
not be saved until the "Saving Configuration" message has been 
displayed and the cursor returns to the command prompt.
