Examining The Browser Navigation Tree Menu; Comparing The Browser Tool With Set-Based Programming - Nortel ICS User Manual

72 Chapter 6 Understanding the Browser tool

Examining the Browser navigation tree menu

The Browser navigation tree is based on the layout of set programming. However, not all fields
can be programmed, and these do not appear on the navigation tree. Also, some fields may be in a
slightly different location than found in set programming.
This section describes some of the differences between the Browser tool and set-based
programming, and an expanded navigation tree table displays the available headings for a
MICS 6.1 system. These headings vary depending on the system map that the Browser uses for the
system it connects to.

Comparing the Browser tool with set-based programming

Because it uses the large screen found on computers and a full keyboard, some programming with
the Browser tool works differently than programming with a two-line display telephone.
• Some headings appear in different places when they appear in the navigation tree. Refer to
"Examining the Browser navigation tree menu" on page
For example, the Browser tool shows Restriction filters at the top level of programming.
Restriction filters are shown under individual sets and lines in the set-based programming, so
you can move from a set or line to restrictions by pressing the buttons fewer times. When you
work in the navigation tree, you can move from an individual set or line back to the restrictions
with one click, and program restrictions without looking at an individual set or line. The
alternate arrangement of headings, subheadings, and settings may vary depending on the
Norstar system you are accessing.
• You can use the keyboard to choose options for settings.
You can type in names, add a numbered setting to a list of settings of the same type, or choose
a value (for example, the number of rings before a call is forwarded). In addition, the Browser
tool recognizes shortened forms of a number: you can enter 3 instead of 003 for a three-digit
line number.
• Some options are changed simply by adding and removing items from the navigation tree.
For example, if you want to assign a Line to a set, add the line to the list under Line
Assignment, then open the setting and choose appear and ring options. However, to choose the
Unassigned option, you remove the line from the list.
• The words used for the navigation tree and settings are spelled out completely in the Browser
window. For example, System programming appears instead of System prgrming as found in
set programming.
• Not all the information and settings which are available during a programming session using a
Norstar telephone set can be seen with the Browser tool. For example, Maintenance items such
as the system test log, system administration log, and the network event log do not appear in
the Browser window. Use the Remote Set Tool to access these parts of system administration.
Even though the information may appear differently in the Browser tool, the programming
itself is limited to what exists for the Norstar system. The Browser tool offers only the
programming which is available during a programming session using a Norstar telephone
attached to the Norstar system.
