Block Mode
NetPath 100 supports Block as well as Character mode management access.
To enable Block mode, set the VT-100 terminal (or emulator) to “LOCAL ECHO”.
When logging in, along with entering the password, type “ \VT100” (include a space
between the last character of the password and the “\” character) followed by ENTER.
In this mode, the VT-100 terminal will echo characters to the screen locally and store
them, sending the entire string to the NetPath 100 when ENTER is depressed. The Net-
Path 100 will not echo received characters in this mode. It will process all received
characters at once.
Logout
Logout is automatic on disconnecting the local terminal, terminating a dial-in call, or
after a timeout period (approx. 10 mins.) if a Telnet session is broken.
Logout can be done manually by selecting Logout (LO) from the System View Screen.
Screen Format
The general format for NetPath 100 screen displays is as follows:
Title - A screen title is always shown at the top center of each screen.
Body - The central portion shows the specific screen details for that screen.
Command Line - User commands are always entered at the bottom of the screen
marked by the cursor character “>”.
Error or Warning Messages - Are always shown immediately below the Command
Line.
Examples of each of the screen displays are shown in the appropriate sections of this
manual.
Help Text
Help text is provided for each of the NetPath 100 screen displays to assist the user.
Help text for a screen is accessed from that screen by entering “?” followed by EN-
TER. The HELP command is shown on the command line of each applicable screen.
Edits - Selections
Edits to parameters fields, such as on the configuration screens, are made one field at
a time. Each field is edited by entering the character used to designate the field (shown
in brackets) on the screen, followed by the equal sign “=” and a selection from a pick-
list (a number, an ID, or a string of characters), all followed by ENTER.
Current selections are highlighted on the screens by being bracketed by “>>”.....”<<“
characters.
NOTE: Multiple fields may be edited using a single command (except when indicated
otherwise) by separating the entries by commas, all followed by ENTER.
