Selecting a Field
Once you have reached the desired menu or screen, select a field to view,
change, or issue a command. Select a field from within a menu in the same way
you select from a menu – press the Tab or right arrow key.
Example:
Selecting Control from the Main Menu, selecting Administer Logins, then entering
or changing security information.
Making Input Selections
You can enter information into a field in one of several ways. Once the field is
selected, you can:
HManually type in (enter) the field value or command.
Example:
Entering

abc

as a user’s Login ID on the Administer Logins screen (from the
Control menu/branch).
HType in (enter) the first letter(s) of a field value or command, using the
character matching feature.
Example:
When configuring an FXS voice port’s operating mode with the Operating
Mode configuration option/field selected (values FXS, FXSDN,
FXSDN/WINK, PLAR and DPO), entering f or F displays the first value
starting with f – FXS. In this example, entering

fxsd

or

FXSD

would display
FXSDN as the selection.
HSwitch from the screen area to the screen function area and select or enter
the designated screen function key. See
