Introduction

Getting Help

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

Using On-line Help

You can use the BRIM window Help buttons to obtain information speciÞc 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 window and its 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 host deviceÕs Chassis View window menu bar, you can access on-line Help speciÞc to the Chassis View window, as well as bring up the Chassis Manager window for reference. Refer to the deviceÕs userÕs guide 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 Windows Start menu, or Help Ñ>How to Use Help from the primary SPECTRUM Element Manager window, or consult your Microsoft Windows product UserÕs Guide.

Accessing On-line Documentation

The complete suite of documents available for SPECTRUM Element Manager can be accessed via a menu option from the primary window menu bar:

Help Ñ> Online Documents. If you chose to install the documentation when you installed SPECTRUM Element Manager, selecting this option will launch AdobeÕs Acrobat Reader and a menu Þle which provides links to all other available documents.

If you have not yet installed the documentation, the Online Documents option will not

TIP be able to access the menu Þle. In order to activate this option, you must run the setup.exe again to install the documentation component. See your Installation Guide for details.
