Configuration Menu
Introduction to the Configuration Menu
The configuration menu presents the same functionality in configuring the Digi
CM unit as does the web interface, excluding the creation of custom menus.
The configuration menu is navigated by using the number representing the
menu item and the ESC key to return to earlier menus. Telnet to the Digi CM
unit, log in (username root, password dbps) and enter configmenu to start
any configuration. If you log in as admin, the configuration menu will
automatically appear.
Accessing the Configuration Menu
The configuration menu is available through a Telnet or SSH session to the
root user, system administrator, or port administrator. (Port administrator can
only change serial port parameters.) The configuration menu enables the
authorized users to configure the Digi CM unit with the same functionality as is
available with the web interface. The only functionality missing from the
configuration menu is the ability to create custom menus.
1. Telnet into the Digi CM unit. The root user, by default, is connected from a
Telnet session to the Linux command line.
2. Enter configmenu at the command prompt. The configuration menu
follows the layout of the web interface.
Choices for the configuration menu are made by selecting the number of a
menu item. The ESC key allows you to move back a menu each time it is
