Using The Help - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Using the Help

The NSS (Network Storage System) help file provides information about using the configuration
interface to configure the NSS. You can access the help topics either through the Help link found in
the Manager Menu or by clicking the Help button at the top-right corner of each configuration
page.
Audience
The information contained in these help pages is intended for use by network administrators. It
assumes a basic understanding of storage-related concepts, including RAID, filesystems, and
networking.
About the NSS Configuration Interface
The NSS configuration interface contains some basic navigation features to help you as you
configure the NSS.
• Manager Menu: The Manager Menu forms the left side of the configuration interface
window. It contains the menu options that represent the major configuration areas for the
NSS. For example, System, Network, Share, Storage, and so on. When you click an option,
a sub-menu of related options appears. Clicking a subtopic opens the associated topic in the
Topic page in the right side of the window.
• Topic Page: When you select a topic from the Manager Menu, the configuration page for
that topic appears in the right side of the window.
Getting Help
There are two buttons on the NSS configuration interface window that you can click to access help:
• From the Manager Menu click Help to display the full online Administrator Guide. Use the
navigation tools within the help to find information for your chosen topic.
• A context-sensitive help button appears in the upper-right corner of the topic page. Click it to
display help on the specific configuration area. For example, if the current configuration topic
is about the status of your disk drives, click the Help button for information about the details
that appear on the status page.
