Interface Conventions 13
Menu Title The menu title announces the general classification for a group of currently
accessible functions.
Menu Element The menu element is a menu or submenu accessible by pressing the Select button.
When you select on a menu element, the menu element becomes the menu title
and the next lower level in the hierarchy becomes the menu element. For example,
if the menu element is NET Config, pressing Select will move NET Config up to
the menu title level and Rate appears at the Menu Element level with 56K being
displayed as the option (Figure 3-5).
Information Element The Information Element is a user selectable field allowing you to change the
current setting. Initially, it is a display-only field and the cursor will be located to
the left of the Menu Element. To access the Information Element, press the Select
button at the desired Menu Element. The cursor will move to the right of the
Information Element. You may scroll through the available Information Element
options by pressing the Scroll button. Press the Select button when the desired
option is displayed. The cursor will move back to the left of the Menu Element
and the visible Information Element will become the current setting.
Cursor The cursor may appear on either the left or right side of the display screen
depending on the element function. When you access the main menu or scroll
through the menu elements, the cursor appears on the left side of the screen
(Figure 3-6).

When you want to access a user selectable element (identified on the right side of
the screen), press the Select button and the cursor moves to the right side of the
screen with the cursor pointing back to the left (Figure 3-7).

You may now scroll through the options available for that function using the
Scroll key.
Pressing the Select button changes the user selectable information element to the
visible parameter and immediately returns you to the Menu Element and the cursor
to the left side of the screen.
When you press the Exit button, any changes to the parameters in the information
element are disregarded and the cursor returns to the element menu. Eveytime you
press the Exit button, the cursor return to the next higher level in the menu
hierarchy. At the main menu, pressing the Exit button logs you out of the unit.
