Menu and Screen Formats
The Hotwire DSLAM uses an ASCII-based text format for its menus and screens.
This section describes the components of a typical Hotwire menu and screen.
Components of a Hotwire Menu
A typical Hotwire menu format looks like this:
1
2
3
1. Menu Title is the top line of the menu window that displays the title of the
menu or submenu.
2. Menu List is the portion of the menu window that displays the list of menu
options. When selected, a menu option displays a submenu window or
screen.
3. Letter Navigation Keys are provided within a menu list. These keys provide
a convenient way (short cut) to select a menu item.
For example, from the Hotwire – DSL menu illustrated above, you can simply
press the A key to select the Configuration menu item. The Configuration
menu appears. You can then press the A key to select the Card Status menu
item. This action displays the Card Status menu. (You can also use the arrow
keys on your keyboard to select a menu item. See

To back up one menu level, press Ctrl-z. To go to the Main Menu, press Ctrl-a,
Ctrl-c, Ctrl-t, or Ctrl-y.
