Use of Command Description Tables
All configuration screen illustrations (windows) in this guide for both the
console interface and for the
AQueView EMS, are followed by a display or
command description table describing the window display-only, command,
or button functions displayed on the window. You are urged to read all the
information in the command description table, especially upon first use, as
commands may have special instructions or configuration constraints called
out in the Function column cells by use of the
Note:
text convention (see
Table 1-2).
Use of Field Description Tables
Field description tables usually follow the command description tables. Field
description tables define the fields, their functions, configuration choices, and
constraints, if applicable. As in command description tables, the
Note:
text
convention is also used, where appropriate, in the field description tables to
alert the user to special instructions or configuration constraints (see
Table 1-3).
