3.7 EDACS NM MENUS AND THEIR FUNCTIONALITY

There is a common set of pull-down menu options available to icons. Menu options are grayed out for functions that are not applicable for a specific icon. The EDACS Network Manager’s EDACS-specific functionality can only be activated by:

1)Selecting an icon that represents an EDACS manageable element, and

2)Activating the EDACS menu located on the Main Menu bar at the top of the screen.

If an icon is not selected, the EDACS menu option may be grayed out, meaning that it is inaccessible. Figure 1 shows the initial set of submenus which include Faults, Configuration, Accounting File Transfer, Performance, and Software Version. Refer to the following text for additional details on each EDACS menu option.
