Syntax Conventions

“Enter” means for you to type one or more characters. “Select” or “Choose” means for you to use one of the predefined choices.

Command and arrow keys are enclosed in square brackets. [ENTER] means the Enter, or carriage return key; [ESC] means the Escape key and [SPACE BAR] means the Space Bar.

Mouse action sequences are denoted using a comma. For example, “click the Apple icon, Control Panels and then Modem” means first click the Apple icon, then point your mouse pointer to Control Panels and then click Modem.

For brevity’s sake, we will use “e.g.,” as a shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.,” for “that is” or “in other words” throughout this manual.

The ES-2108/ES-2108-G Ethernet Switch may be referred to as “the switch” unless otherwise specified in this User’s Guide.
