Introduction

Getting Help

This section describes two different methods of getting help for questions or concerns you may have while using NetSight Element Manager

Using On-line Help

You can use the FN100 window Help buttons to obtain information specific to the device. When you click on a Help button, a window will appear which contains context-sensitive on-screen documentation that will assist you in the use of the windows and their associated command and menu options. If a Help button is grayed out, on-line help has not yet been implemented for the associated window.

From the Help menu accessed from the Chassis View window menu bar, you can access on-line help specific to the Chassis View window, as well as bring up the Chassis Manager window for reference. Refer to Chapter 2 for information on the Chassis View and Chassis Manager windows.

NOTE

All of the on-line help windows use the standard Microsoft Windows help facility. If you are unfamiliar with this feature of Windows, you can select Help from the Start menu, or Help —>How to Use Help from the primary NetSight Element Manager window.
