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 HelpThis 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.
