information about how more than five options are presented.
Additional Information and PC Headers
The information displayed under the Additional Information header may contain
notes, a value entered in a previous step, branching instructions, general
information, or specific instructions.
Sample Step 2 shows a typical display of a value entered in a previous step. The
x corresponds to the x shown on the console screen. Variable screen information
is always shown as x s or n s in italics.
Variable input information is always shown in brackets ([]), as x s or n s in italics.
In data entry steps, the area under the Additional Information header contains
instructions that apply to both the console and the PC. In such cases, the PC
column contains the symbol
under the Additional Information header, for example:
Dial or type [ nn ].
On the console, dial the entry; on the PC, type the entry.
You also see the
screen. Rather than highlighting all of the options and showing all of the PC keys,
the Additional Information header contains instructions for both, for example:
Press the button or function key next to your selection.
On the console, press the key next to your selection; on the PC press the function
key next to your selection.
Branching
Many of the procedures contain features that have multiple programming options,
while other procedures show more than one way to program a particular feature.
To accommodate both of these programming methods, the procedures use
branching. Branching separates the options from the main procedure and places
them in subprocedures (branch procedures).
The screen shown in sample Step 3 displays three menu selections for the
Network Services feature. The procedure is broken into three branches (or branch
procedures) to accommodate the three menu options.
