ACU-5000 Operations Manual
Interoperability Now 9-1
9 Operating Instructions
This section describes the ACU-5000 operational procedures. All operation is performed either
by web browser or via DTMF Control. The web interface’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) is
carefully designed to provide a range of easily accessible context-sensitive help information.

guide the user through the steps required to create and terminate cross-connections.
See Section 10 for information related to recent feature additions or changes. A notable addition
is the new Drag & Drop Net Management Capability.
