UNIX System V Release 3.2
Administration Via FACE
The AT&T Framed Access Command Environment (FACE) subsystem is
an optionally orderable product which provides an enhanced UNIX system
user interface. Contact your AT&T Service Representative or authorized
dealer for more information.
The serial I/O ports are all under the control of the FACE subsystem
which is under the UNIX system.
AT&T FACE is a character-based user interface which presents the user
with a logical view of the UNIX System V environment. AT&T FACE displays
easy-to-use menus to commonly used commands, task scheduling, program
services, and administration. The AT&T FACE utility provides an
optionally-installable, context-sensitive help facility.
If your system includes FACE and the IPC-1600 FACE menus have been
installed, you can make the appropriate selections by invoking it. At the
UNIX system prompt (a # sign), enter face to invoke the AT&T FACE.
Once inside the AT&T FACE Menu, select the System Administration
option.
From the System Administration Menu, select the Peripherals Setup
option. From the Peripheral Setup Menu, select the following:
