Appendix. Accessibility

Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited
vision, to use software products successfully.
Features
This list includes the major accessibility features in the management GUI:
v You can use screen-reader software and a digital speech synthesizer to hear what is displayed on the
screen. The following screen reader has been tested: JAWS 11.
v Most of the GUI features are accessible by using the keyboard. For those features that are not
accessible, equivalent function is available by using the command-line interface (CLI).
v When setting or changing an IP address on the SAN Volume Controller front panel, you can disable
the fast increase function to reduce the address scrolling speed of the up and down buttons to two
seconds. This feature is documented in the topic that discusses initiating cluster (system) creation from
the front panel, which is located in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Information
Center and the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Software Installation and Configuration Guide.
