Using Buttons

have to use this button to close a window after you have made any necessary
changes and set them by clicking on an , , or button.
An , , or 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 button brings up a Help text box with information specific to the
current window. For more information concerning Help buttons, see Getting
Help, below.
The command buttons, for example , 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 two different methods of getting help for questions or
concerns you may have while using SPECTRUM Element Manager.
Using On-line Help
You can use the 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.
