Navigation Window
The navigation window is used for selecting a particular switch feature to act upon. Status, sta-
tistics, or configuration forms for the selected item will appear in the forms window, depending
on the context chosen on the toolbar.
The navigation window contains a tree of folders, sub-folders, and feature icons:
You can click on any closed folder to open it and reveal its contents. Click on any open folder
to close it. Click on any feature icon to load the appropriate status, statistics, or configuration
form in the forms window.
Some folders also have forms. If the name of the folders is underlined, click on the name to
display the appropriate form.
Forms Window
When a feature icon is selected on the navigation window, a status, statistics, or configuration
form is displayed in the forms window. The exact nature of the form depends on the current
context selected on the toolbar, as well as the type of information available. Not all feature
icons have forms for all contexts.
Some forms display switch information such as settings, status, or statistics. Others allow you
to make configuration changes to switch parameters.
