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 IRM2 window 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. Note that 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 online help windows use the standard Microsoft Windows help facility. If you

are unfamiliar with this feature of Windows, you can select Help from the menu, or Help —>How to Use Help from the primary NetSight Element Manager window, or consult your Microsoft Windows product User’s Guide.
