Getting Help 1-9

Introduction
An OK, Set, or Apply 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 Help button brings up a Help window with information specific to the
current window. For more information, see Getting Help, page1-9.
The command buttons, for example Bridge, launch a menu listing the windows,
or commands available for that topic.
Any menu topic followed by … (three dots)—for example Statistics…— launches
a window associated with that selection.
Getting Help
This section describes different methods of getting help for questions or concerns
you may have while using NetSight Element Manager.

Using On-line Help

You can use the Generic SNMP window Help 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.

Accessing On-line Documentation

The complete suite of documents available for NetSight Element Manager can be
accessed via a menu option from the primary window menu bar:
Help —> Online Documents. If you installed the documentation component,
selecting this option will launch Adobe’s Acrobat Reader and a menu file which
provides links to all other available documents.
NOTE
All of the online help windows use the Microsoft Windows help facility. If you are
unfamiliar with this feature of Windows, you can select Help from the Windows Start
menu, or Help —> How to Use Help from the primary NetSight Element Manager
window.
TIP
If you have not yet installed the documentation, the Online Docu ments option will not
be able to access the menu file; in order to activate this option, you must run setup.exe
again to install the documentation component. See the Installation Guide for details.
