User Interface
Overview
Brief Introduction User interface view is a feature that allows you to manage asynchronous serial
interfaces that work in flow mode. By operating under user interface view, you
can centralize the management of various configurations.
At present, the system supports the following three configuration modes:
■ Local configuration via the Console port
■ Local/Remote configuration via the AUX port (Auxiliary port)
■ Local/Remote configuration through Telnet or SSH
The three modes correspond to four types of user interfaces. They are:
■ Console port: A view which you log in from the console port. Console port is a
line device port. The device has only one console port, with the port type as
EIA/TIA-232 DCE.
