Getting Help 1-9
Introduction
Using Buttons
The Cancel button that appears at the bottom of most windows allows you to exit
a window and terminate any unsaved changes you have made. You may also
have to use this button to close a window after you have made any necessary
changes and set them by clicking on an OK, Set, or Apply button.
An OK, Set, or Apply button appears in windows that have configurable values;
it allows you to confirm and SET changes you have made to those values. In some
windows, you may have to use this button to confirm each individual set; in other
windows, you can set several values at once and confirm the sets with one click
on the button.
The Help button brings up a Help text box with information specific to the
current window. For more information concerning Help buttons, see
Getting
Help , on page 1-9 .
The command buttons, for example Bridge, call up a menu listing the windows,
screens, or commands available for that topic.
Any menu topic followed by ... (three dots) — for example Statistics... — calls up
a window or screen associated with that topic.
Getting Help
This section describes three different methods of getting help for questions or
concerns you may have while using NetSight Element Manager.
Using On-line Help
You can use the Help buttons to obtain information specific to a particular
window. When you click on a Help button, a window will appear which contains
context-sensitive on-screen documentation that will assist you in the use of the
windows and their associated command and menu options. Note that if a Help
button is grayed out, on-line help has not yet been implemented for the associated
window.
From the Help menu accessed from the Device View window menu bar, you can
access on-line Help specific to the Device View window, as well as bring up the
Chassis Manager window for reference. Refer to Chapter 2,
The MultiSwitch 700
Device View , for information on the Device View and Chassis Manager
windows.
NOTE
All of the online help windows use the standard Microsoft Windows help facility. If you
are unfamiliar with this feature of Windows, you can select Help from the Windows
Start
menu, or Help —>How to Use Help from the primary NetSight Element
Manager window.
