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, page 1-6.
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 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 9H42x-xx module window buttons to obtain information
specific 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 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.
From the Help menu accessed from the Module View window menu bar, you can
access on-line Help specific to the Module View, as well as bring up the Chassis
Manager window for reference. Refer to Chapter 2 for information on the Module
View and Chassis Manager windows.
NOTE
All of the SPECTRUM Element Manager help windows use the standard Microsoft
Windows help facility; if you are unfamiliar with this feature of Windows, you can select
Help —>How to Use Help from the primary window menu bar, or consult your
Microsoft Windows User’s Guide.
