Management Console Operations

The Management Console provides options for viewing and changing system and network settings, running diagnostics, rebooting the system, and other functions.

To access and navigate through the Management Console

1. Bring up the Management Console. Refer to Connecting to the Console.

2. The main menu is displayed in the left side panel. Use the up/down arrow keys to move the focus between menu items. As the focus shifts, the right pane displays the options and information for that menu item. The currently selected item is highlighted in black.

   

3. Press the Tab key to move the focus from left side menu to the main view (right pane), or vice versa.

4. In the main view, use the up/down arrow keys to move the focus between options. Items shown inside square brackets denote actionable items.

   

5. To select an option for editing or to choose the associated action, use the up/down arrow keys to move the focus to the editable/actionable items and press the Enter key.

   An edit/selection dialog is displayed in the middle of the main view below the option list. Some dialogs have selectable actions and some are only for information.

   

   Some dialogs are for input.

   

6. Use the arrow keys as needed to move between selections in the dialog. To change a value, press Backspace to erase each character, then type in the new value. When ready, press Enter to commit the change or perform the selected action. You can dismiss the dialog by pressing Esc.
