Navigating through the
Menus
You select a menu option by typing the selection number and pressing [Enter].
Displays that contain information and no selections include the prompt:
Press Esc for previous menu
Multi-page displays also prompt you to press “N” for the next page or “P” for the 
previous page.
Only the Main menu contains the Exit selection to log out. Selecting Exit returns 
you to the title screen with the password prompt. All other menus have a Previous 
menu selection which returns you to the Main menu one screen at a time. You can 
also press [Esc] to move back one menu at a time. 
The auto logout feature automatically logs you out and returns you to the title 
screen if you do not press a key for a specified time (1 - 99 minutes). To set the 
autolog timeout, select [1] System Administration from the Main menu, then 
select [1] General System Information, then select [6] Set Auto Logout Time.
Always return to the Main Menu to log out or let the auto logout time expire. 
Exiting the program in any other way, such as turning power off to the network 
management station, may cause unpredictable results. 
Understanding the
Menu Hierarchy
The PathBuilder S330/S310 menu hierarchy includes several layers of menus. Each 
submenu has a name that is the same or similar to the name of the option that 
displays it. For example, selecting [2] Configuration Management on the Main 
Menu displays a submenu titled Configuration Management, and selecting [4] 
Manage System Clock
 from the System Administration menu displays a submenu 
titled System Clock Configuration. You can then select options on the submenus 
to display additional submenus or prompts that allow you to set various 
parameters.
