Home page overview
The
HOME
window is divided into two panes: the
Configuration Menu
pane and the
Configuration/informa-
tion
pane (see figure 25 on page 39). The
Configuration Menu
contains the links to the various Model 2616RC
subsystems, while in the
Configuration/information
pane, you can view status and other information or make
changes to the system configuration. Unlike the
Configuration Menu
pane, which appears the same no matter
which subsystem page you may select, the
Configuration/information
pane contents will change as you move
from one subsystem page to another.
