Making Input Selections

You select from a menu to get subsequent menus or screens so you can perform
desired tasks.
Procedure
To make a menu selection:
1. Tab or press an arrow key to position the cursor on a menu selection. Each
menu selection is highlighted as you press the key to move the cursor from
position to position.
2. Press Return. The selected menu or screen appears.
3. Continue Steps 1 and 2 until you reach the screen you want.
Refer to the Quick Reference provided with this document to guide you through
menu selections.
Once you have reached the desired menu or screen, select a field to view,
change, or issue a command. Select a field from within a menu in the same way
you select from a menu – press the Tab or right arrow key.
Example:
Selecting Control from the Main Menu, selecting Administer Logins, then entering
or changing security information.
You can enter information into a field in one of several ways. Once the field is
selected, you can:
Manually type in (enter) the field value or command.
Example:
Entering abc as a user's Login ID on the Administer Logins screen ( from the
Control menu/branch ).
Type in (enter) the first letter(s) of a field value or command, using the
character matching feature.
Example:
When configuring an FXS voice port's operating mode with the Operating
Mode configuration option/field selected ( values FXS, FXSDN,
FXSDN/WINK, PLAR and DPO ), entering f or F displays the first value
starting with f – FXS. In this example, entering fxsd or FXSD would display
FXSDN as the selection.
Switch from the screen area to the screen function area and select or enter
the designated screen function key. See
Areas for an example.
Press the spacebar to make the next valid choice.
