Getting Help 1-9

Introduction
Informational fields describing the boards and/or ports being modeled are also
displayed in most windows:
Board Number
Displays the number of the board. The SmartSwitch 2000 will always be Board 1.
Port Number
Displays the number of the monitored port.
Uptime
Displays the amount of time, in a X days hh:mm:ss format, that the SmartSwitch
2000 has been running since the last start-up.

Using Window Buttons

The Cancel 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 OK, Set, or Apply button.
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 text box with information specific to the
current window. For more information concerning Help buttons, see Getting
Help, on page 1-9.
The command buttons, for example Bridge, 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.
