Initial Connection And Configuration - NETGEAR ProSafe WC7520 Reference Manual

A web management interface screen can include the following components:
• 1st level: Main navigation menu tab. The main navigation menu tabs in the light gray
bar across the top of the web management interface provide access to all configuration
menu tabs of the wireless controller and remain constant. When you select a main
navigation menu tab, the letters are displayed in white against a blue background.
• 2nd level: Configuration menu tab. The configuration menu tabs in the blue bar
(immediately below the main navigation menu bar) change according to the main
navigation menu tab that you select. When you select a configuration menu tab, the
letters are displayed in orange against a blue background.
• 3rd level: Submenu link. Each configuration menu tab has one or more submenu links
that are listed on the left side of the screen in a gray box. When you select a submenu
link, the text is displayed in orange against a gray background. On many screens, the
submenus are divided into a basic submenu and an advanced submenu.
• Action buttons. Action buttons change the configuration or allow you to make changes
to the configuration. These are the most common action buttons:
- Apply. Saves all configuration changes made on the current screen. Saved settings
are retained when the wireless controller is powered off or rebooted, while unsaved
configuration changes are lost.
- Cancel. Resets options on the current screen to the last-applied or -saved settings.
- Add. Adds a new item to the current screen. Typically, a pop-up window opens that
enables you to enter information in additional fields.
- Edit. Allows you to edit the configuration of the selected item.
- Remove or Delete. Removes the selected item from the table or screen
configuration.
- Back. Return to the previous screen.
