The Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server software running on your terminal server may have a menu
interface rather than a command interface.  You will know this if a menu appears on your screen rather than
the TS3395> prompt when you log on to the terminal server port.  You see a menu similar to the one in
Figure 2-1.

Welcome to the Model 3395 Terminal Server

1. Connect to FINANCEVAX

2. Connect to UNIXSUN

3. Connect to LOCALVAX

7. Show Queue

8. Lock Terminal

9. Change Mode - Binary

10. Change Mode Interactive

Enter number of selection>

20. Logout

One or more options appear on the menu, preceded by a number.  To select an option, enter the number
corresponding to the option at the prompt and press the <Return> key.  This method of selecting an option
works whether your port's TYPE characteristic is set to HARDCOPY, SOFTCOPY, or ANSI.  For
example, you could select the  Connect to FINANCEVAX option in Figure 2-1 like this:

Enter number of selection> 1

When you make the selection, the terminal server executes the appropriate command.  When you suspend a
session, or execute a terminal server command, the menu does not reappear on your screen until you press
the <Return> key.

If the TYPE characteristic at your port is set to ANSI, you can also use the arrow keys to position the
cursor on the option you want, and then press the <Return> key.  The SHOW PORT CHARACTERISTIC
display includes the port's TYPE characteristic.
