Name Set Toggle
An ‘Name Set Toggle’ button toggles the panel between its default name set and the “system
name” set. Whichever name set you select becomes the “active” name set.
 ‘Name Set Toggle’ buttons are disabled while a category selection is in progress.
 The panel requires that category/suffix device selection be performed using the names in
the system name set. However, it displays the device you selected using the active name set.
We recommend that you switch to the system name set prior to category/suffix device selec-
tion and return to your preferred name set afterward.
Navigate
A navigate button displays and activates one of the button pages defined in the panel configu-
ration. We call that the “target” button page.
The target page can be an ordinary button page (defined during configuration) or it can be the
first page of a list. Lists are characterized by “back” and “forward” buttons on the panel. Such
lists can be categories (source or destination), sources, destinations, or salvos.
Navigate buttons have no specific default text and it is the configurer’s job to provide text that is
meaningful. The text should help identify the contents of the target page.
Just press the navigate button to access the target page.
Other kinds of buttons can cause the display of a target page. These include ‘Global Navigate’
buttons and category buttons. In practice, navigate buttons, global navigate buttons, and cate-
gory buttons are nearly indistinguishable, although the pages they display can be quite
different.
See the Category button type.
Global Navigate
A ‘Global Navigate’ button functions the same way a navigate button does. Global navigate
buttons exist mainly for the convenience of the configurer. Operators should rarely notice any
difference between global navigation buttons and other navigation buttons.
Global navigate buttons, however, access only static button pages. They do not access list
pages. That is because configurers have no list options for global navigate buttons.
Page Down
This button scrolls the alphanumeric display down. Scrolling is necessary when the number of
lines to display is greater than 8. The ‘Page Down’ button becomes enabled when it is possible
to scroll down and is disabled when it is not possible.
The default button text is “Page Down” but the button can have any legend.
Page Up
This button scrolls the alphanumeric display up. Scrolling is necessary when the number of lines
to display is greater than 8. The ‘Page Up’ button becomes enabled when it is possible to scroll
up and is disabled when it is not possible.
The default button text is “Page Up” but the button can have any legend.
