Introduction

Location

Displays the user-deﬁned location of the device. The location is entered through the System Group window; see the Generic SNMP User’s Guide for details.

MAC Address

Displays the manufacturer-set MAC address of the channel through which SPECTRUM Element Manager is communicating with the device. MAC addresses are factory-set and cannot be altered.

Using Buttons

The button that appears at the bottom of most windows allows you to exit a window and terminate any unsaved changes you have made. You may also have to use this button to close a window after you have made any necessary

changes and set them by clicking on an , , or button.

An , , or button appears in windows that have conﬁgurable values; it allows you to conﬁrm and SET changes you have made to those values. In some windows, you may have to use this button to conﬁrm each individual set; in other windows, you can set several values at once and conﬁrm the sets with one click on the button.

The button brings up a Help text box with information speciﬁc to the current window. For more information concerning Help buttons, see Getting Help, below.

The command buttons, for example , call up a menu listing the windows, screens, or commands available for that topic.

Any menu topic followed by ... (three dots) — for example Statistics... — calls up a window or screen associated with that topic.

Getting Help

This section describes two 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 buttons to obtain information speciﬁc to a particular window. 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.
