Initial System Configuration
Following are some general instructions regarding the setup dialog:
• All default values appear in square brackets [default].
If no value appears in the brackets [], or more than one option appears [yes/no], then this parameter
does not have a default value.
• To accept the default value, press Enter.
• If you need more information about any parameter, type ?and press Enter.
A help message will appear describing the expected format of the parameter and any other
requirements.
• To jump to the end of the setup dialog at any point, accepting all remaining default values, press ^z.
• In certain cases, there will be two or more logically related parameters within a menu. In these
situations, it is not permitted to jump to the end of the setup dialog until all related parameters are
configured. If you try to jump to the end of the setup dialog, the following message will appear: “
Sorry, Skipping is not allowed at this stage.”
• Certain groups of related parameters, such as time, date, and SNTP settings, form sub-dialogs or
menus within the setup dialog. You may skip an entire menu, thereby accepting all default values
for the parameters within the menu.
Each group of related parameters is prefaced by a question, asking whether you want to enter the
menu. To skip the menu, answer no (“n”) to the question.
Would you like to enter the SNMP configuration menu? n
• To abort the setup dialog at any point without making any configuration changes, press ^c. All
changes already entered will be lost, with the exception of time settings.
