Appendix E. Accessibility

This section provides information about alternate keyboard navigation, which is a DS4000 Storage Manager accessibility feature. Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully.

By using the alternate keyboard operations that are described in this section, you can use keys or key combinations to perform Storage Manager tasks and initiate many menu actions that can also be done with a mouse.

Note: In addition to the keyboard operations that are described in this section, the DS4000 Storage Manager version 9.14 - 10.10 (and later) software installation packages for Windows include a screen reader software interface.

To enable the screen reader, select Custom Installation when using the installation wizard to install Storage Manager 9.14 - 10.10 (or later) on a Windows host/management station. Then, in the Select Product Features window, select Java Access Bridge in addition to the other required host software components.

Table 67 defines the keyboard operations that enable you to navigate, select, or activate user interface components. The following terms are used in the table:

vNavigate means to move the input focus from one user interface component to another.

vSelect means to choose one or more components, typically for a subsequent action.

vActivate means to carry out the action of a particular component.

Note: In general, navigation between components requires the following keys:

vTab - Moves keyboard focus to the next component or to the first member of the next group of components

vShift-Tab- Moves keyboard focus to the previous component or to the first component in the previous group of components

vArrow keys - Move keyboard focus within the individual components of a group of components
