ADCP-61-471 • Issue 4 • June 2000 • Section 1: Introduction

A logon is required to gain access to the Craft Interface. The logon remains active until either the operator logs off or a user-selectable period of keyboard inactivity is exceeded. The default time-out period is 30 minutes. Passwords are used to limit access to the system. When you enter your assigned User Name, the Soneplex Broadband system will request a password.

When you enter your assigned password, the Main Menu appears. It includes the current software version number (top right corner) and a copyright insignia. A default user ID and password are available for a newly installed system; but to ensure system security, these should be removed by the system administrator after the system is in operation.

3 EDITING FIELDS

The keyboard is used to select menus, view the various screens, and when necessary, to enter alpha and numeric information into the system. Keyboard operations make use of the alpha and numeric keys, arrow keys, enter or return key, space bar, and control key.

3.1 Cursor

In the Craft Interface system, a cursor is used to indicate menu selections, option settings, and data entry fields. The cursor may take the form of a block, a highlighted field, or a flashing line. When selecting a menu, the cursor is moved by pressing either the arrow or number keys. When selecting an option setting or making a data entry, the cursor is moved by pressing the arrow keys.

3.2 Arrow Keys

The arrow keys are used to move the cursor to indicate menu selections, option settings, and data entry fields. In screens that have more than one page, the up and down arrow keys also move the screen up or down one line at a time. In the same screens, the left arrow key moves the screen up one page and the right arrow key moves the screen down one page. Each time the screen is moved down one page, the last line from the previous screen is displayed as the first line on the new page. Each time the screen is moved up one page, the first line from the previous screen is displayed as the last line on the new page.

3.3 Enter and Return Keys

The Enter and Return keys causes the system to act on the data that was entered. Selections may be entered into the system in one of two ways:

1.By pressing an arrow key and then the Enter or Return key once.

2.By pressing the Enter or Return key twice after all selections and entries are made in the screen but before leaving the screen.
