The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Text Utility Interface (TUI) provides a console-based interface for use by system installers, administrators, and troubleshooting personnel. The TUI replaces the requirement for any low-level system command line (shell) access and can be used to perform routine system tasks such as modifying system configurations, changing passwords, and checking system logs. Remote TAC access and troubleshooting can both be facilitated from the TUI in the event of an outage or failure.
The Cisco StadiumVision Director and Cisco StadiumVision Director Remote servers both include a TUI interface. The remote server version of the TUI has a similar menu structure, but only provides a subset of the functions available in Cisco StadiumVision Director.
This section includes the following topics:
The TUI is a nested structure of menus with options that allow you to drill down to specific system tasks to be performed on the server. The primary menus are:
Table 1 provides a description of the primary menus included in the Cisco StadiumVision Director TUI.
Figure 1 shows a map of the new Cisco StadiumVision Director TUI menuing system and options.
In Cisco StadiumVision Director Release 3.1.0-797, the Cisco StadiumVision Director TUI was modified with the following changes to allow configuration of the log file retention policy for upgraded servers:

The Main Menu is displayed when you log in. To navigate through the menus you must type the character that corresponds to the menu area where you want to go (a, b, c, and so on) and press Enter.
To return to other menus, you must back out of the hierarchy of menus using one of the indicated keys to return you to prior menus.
Several of the TUI options open server system files for you to modify using the Unix system vi editor. The following configuration files are editable from the TUI:
Before modifying configuration files, you should be familiar with the simple editing techniques used within the vi editor. Table 2 describes some of the more common vi Editor commands.
