The Switch Console
Screen Structure and Navigation
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 3-4. Elements of 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 Edit action
2. navigate through the screen making ALL the necessary configuration
changes, then
3. press [Enter] to return to the action line. From there you can select to save
the configuration changes or to cancel the changes. Cancel returns the
configuration to the values you saw when you first entered the screen.
See the next page for specific instructions on using the console screens.
