The Switch Integration Device

Software

The SID contains software that allows you to perform installation, configuration, and diagnostic tasks by using the keypad and the LCD screen. As you administer the SID, you use three types of forms or screen displays. Each type of form has a specific task.

■Menu Forms — used to select one of several options.

■Edit Forms — used to enter informat ion into the SID’s configuration.

■Action Forms — used to perf orm an action, view event logs, or monitor the system.

This section contains descriptions and examples of each form and provides you with instructions for using the forms. You also can find tables that show you valid key actions for each form.

Menu Forms

Menu forms allow you to select options by pressing a key. You can select another menu, an edit form, or an action form. The menu forms allow you to move between important forms by pressing only a few keys. Figure 2-2.shows you the MCI User Interface Main Menu.

Figure 2-2. The MCI User Interface Main Menu

A menu form contains two items:

Name	You can find the menu name in the upper left hand corner
	of the LCD display. Use the name as a reference item.
List of options	Menus show you different options. Each option has a
	number and a label. Not all menus contain the same
	number of options. To select an option from a menu, press
	the option number on the keypad. The SID clears the
	current form from the LCD display and places the form you
	selected on the display. The label you selected appears
	as the name of the form.
