Getting Help

This section describes two 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 Help buttons in the NetSight Element Manager windows to obtain information specific to the currently active window. When you click on a Help button, a window opens which contains information that will assist you in the use of the windows and their associated command and menu options. 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 Device View menu bar, you can access on-line Help specific to the Device View (Help —> Chassis Manager Help or Help —> Help Topics).
