Terminal Profile Menu
On the “Terminal Profile Menu” form under Applications, you can define a terminal command menu. This menu is used if a terminal is connected to one of the serial ports and is configured as a local terminal. A computer terminal configured as a local terminal launches a session directly on the ACS with access to the Linux commands on the ACS unless you configure a menu here.
The following figure shows an empty menu.

The menu can contain any command recognized by the Linux operating system on the ACS. The most common use of this feature is to create multiple menu options for launching SSH sessions on remote hosts.
When you click “Add,” the “Add Option” dialog box appears, as shown in the following figure.

For example, you can create a menu called “SSH to Servers” with options that launch SSH connections to several servers, such as the one shown in the following screen example.
