User Interface and Basic Operation

Selecting a Field

Once you reach the desired menu or screen, select a field to view or change, or issue a command.

Press the Tab or right arrow key to move the cursor from one field to another. The current setting or value appears to the right of the field.

Entering Information

You can enter information in one of three ways. Select the field, then:

HManually type in (enter) the field value or command.

Example:

Entering bjk 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 unit's character-matching feature.

Example:

When configuring a port's physical characteristics with the Port (DTE) Initiated Loopbacks configuration option/field selected (possible settings include Disable, Local, DTPLB, DCLB, and Both), entering d or D displays the first value starting with d ± Disable. In this example, entering dt or DT would display DTPLB as the selection.

HSwitch to the function keys area and select or enter a designated function key.

Example:

To save a configuration option change, select Save. S or s is the designated function key.

If a field is blank and the Message area displays valid selections, press the spacebar; the first valid setting for the field appears. Continue pressing the spacebar to scroll through other possible settings.
