Using the Switch Console
Screen Structure and Navigation
Console screens include these three elements:
■ Parameter fields and/or read-only information such as statistics
■ Navigation and configuration actions, such as Save, Edit, and Cancel
■ Help line to describe navigation options, individual parameters, and read-
only data
For example, in the System configuration screen:
Figure 4-2. Elements of the Screen Structure
“Forms” Design. The configuration screens, in particular, operate similarly
to a number of PC applications that use forms for data entry. When you first
enter these screens, you see the current configuration for the item you have
selected. To change the configuration, the basic operation is to:
1. Press [E] to select the E
dit action.
2. Navigate through the screen making ALL the necessary configuration
changes. See table 4-1.
3. Press [Enter] to return to the Actions line. From there you can save the
configuration changes or cancel the changes. Cancel returns the configu-
ration to the values you saw when you first entered the screen.
See the next page for specific instructions on using the console screens.
