IOA Primary Option Menu

The IOA Primary Option menu is the primary interface to functions available under the various INCONTROL products. The options displayed in the menu depend on the INCONTROL products installed at the site, and the functions and facilities that have been authorized to you.

Note: Entering =1 in the command line of any other screen returns you to the IOA Primary Option Menu that is displayed at your site.

If only Control-M is installed at your site, and you are authorized to access all functions and facilities, the following screen is displayed:
