Getting Help
This section describes two 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 in the NetSight Element Manager windows to obtain
information specific to the currently active window. When you click on a Help button, a
window opens which contains information that will assist you in the use of the windows
and their associated command and menu options. 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 menu bar, you can access on-line Help specific to the
Device View (Help —> Chassis Manager Help or Help —> Help Topics).
