About Selecting Items
Interaction with the Topspin system is performed using a combination of pull-down menus, icons in the
tool bar, and pop-up menus. The windows these open contain a combination of text fields, radio buttons,
and toggles with which to configure selected cards and/or ports.
Depending upon the function you wish to execute, you select one or more cards and/or ports in the
following ways:
•
by placing the cursor over the desire object(s) and clicking the left mouse button.
• by placing the mouse cursor over the object and right-clicking the mouse. This displays a
pull-down menu from which you may select an item.
• by placing the mouse cursor over it and double-click the left mouse button. This selects the object
and opens a default window. The window displayed depends upon the selected object. This is
explained in more detail in the sections that follow.
Everything in the switch chassis display may be selected. You can select the chassis, interface cards,
ports, management ports, and serial console ports. The only exception are the cards without ports. These
are placeholders for later expansion and cannot be selected.
Select multiple objects on the switch display by using <Control> left-click. However, when you select
an object that is not the same type as the currently selected set, the selected set is de-selected.
