Enterasys Networks STS16-20 manual Getting Help, Using On-Line Help

Introduction

For many mouse operations, this document assumes that the left (primary) mouse button is to be used, and references to activating a menu or button will not include instructions about which mouse button to use.

However, in instances in which right (secondary) mouse button functionality is available, instructions will explicitly refer to right mouse button usage. Also, in situations where you may be switching between mouse buttons in the same area or window, instructions will also explicitly refer to both left and right mouse buttons.

Instructions to perform a mouse operation include the following terms:

¥Pointing means to position the mouse cursor over an area without pressing either mouse button.

¥Clicking means to position the mouse pointer over the indicated target, then press and release the appropriate mouse button. This is most commonly used to select or activate objects, such as menus or buttons.

¥Double-clickingmeans to position the mouse pointer over the indicated target, then press and release the mouse button two times in rapid succession. This is commonly used to activate an objectÕs default operation, such as opening a window from an icon. Note that there is a distinction made between Òclick twiceÓ and Òdouble-click,Ó since Òclick twiceÓ implies a slower motion.

¥Pressing means to position the mouse pointer over the indicated target, then press and hold the mouse button until the described action is completed. It is often a pre-cursor to Drag operations.

¥Dragging means to move the mouse pointer across the screen while holding the mouse button down. It is often used for drag-and-drop operations to copy information from one window of the screen into another, and to highlight editable text.

Getting Help

Using On-Line Help

You can use the Help button in the STS16-20 windows to obtain information speciÞc 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 window and its associated command and menu options. Note that if the Help button is grayed out, on-line help has not yet been implemented for the associated window.
