Navigation Keys (buttons)
Four navigation keys are located on the lower half of the MATE3s. The navigation keys allow the user to move
around within the menu structure. They also provide access to the Main Menu programming and the various
components connected to the HUB.
The TOP navigation key (A) returns the operator to the top of the Main Menu for the selected device.
From the Main Menu, the TOP or LOCK keys return the operator to the Home screen.
The UP navigation key (B) returns to the menu item on the previous screen that was used to access the current screen.
It moves up, or back, one screen in the menu map for the selected device. See the MATE3s Menu Map.
The LOCK navigation key (C) locks the access to prevent unauthorized changes to the system settings. It also provides
access to the Enter Password screen. (See page 2.)
The PORT navigation key (D) cycles through each device connected to a port on the HUB Communications Manager.
See page 6 for OPTICS RE monitoring with this key.
