2.1.3 Navigation
Most pages of the user interface consist of tabular information that
can be navigated (as shown in Figure 3). The currently selected
item is highlighted by a different background and foreground.
When multiple items are displayed, the
Up
and
Down
arrows can
be used to move the selection up or down by one item,
PgUp
and
PgDn
can be used to move up or down by a complete page and
the
Left
and
Right
arrows can be used to select the item to the left
or right of the current selected item (equivalent to
PgUp
and
PgDn
when there is only one column).
Items in the tabular information are identified by number, which is
the first number displayed at the beginning of the item's text. This
number can be keyed-in with the
Number Pad
(Buttons 0 through
9), for quick access. As digits are keyed-in, the active selection
will move to the next matching item with the given number, for example pressing
1
followed by
4
will select
entry 01 first followed by 14. The selection stops updating once the keyed in digits no longer match an
available item number. The key-in operation can be reset by pushing any of the navigation buttons.
Once the desired item is selected, it can be activated by pressing the
Select
button, the effect of which depends
on the current interface page.
2.1.4 Status Bar
After the system starts up the status bar is displayed in all modes at the top of the screen (shown outlined in red
in Figure 3).
The status bar consists of:
•
Mode Title
(in the left corner – "Routing" in the example image). Indicates what section of the user
interface is currently active.
•
Active Control Profile
(to the right – "192.168.2.60" in the example image). Displays the name of the
current routing switcher control profile (useful when controlling multiple routers).
•
Connection Status
(in the right corner - " " in the example image). This indicator shows the current
routing switcher connection status, which includes the following indicators:
◦
- Indicates that a connection has been established with the remote routing switcher.
◦
- Displayed on initial connection when routing matrix state has not yet been updated.
◦
- Shown when a communication error occurs with the remote routing switcher.
