5.3.1. Configuration Conventions

When responding to prompts, invoking commands, and selecting items from the port configuration menu, note the following:

• To select an item from the Port Configuration menu, key in the number for the item and press [Enter].

• When defining the Port Name, do not use ASCII Control Codes, the slash character (/), quotation marks ("), the asterisk character (*), or blank spaces.

• The Port Name cannot begin with a number.

• Refer to the instructions in each screen for additional functions available under that screen.

• To exit a menu or prompt without changing its current configuration, type ^X ([Ctrl] + [X]).

• Passwords and port names are case sensitive. When defining passwords and port names, note the exact text, including the case of each character.
