Menu functions
3.5.1
Menu system
Using the built in menu system, more complex system functions are available.
To handle the menu system, you have to use the four cursor buttons (arrows up, down, left, right) and the
“enter” button, located right of the “right” cursor button. With those buttons, you can navigate through a
menu tree, to access more complex system functions.
To operate the menu, these “rules“ apply:
•
The menu will open after you press the “right”, “up”, “down” or “enter” butten, if the text dis-
play is showing the standard status information like in figure 13.
•
Using “up” and “down” buttons, you can navigate through the menu items. If there are more than
two menu items, advancing in one direction will scroll the menu tree.
•
The current, active menu item will have a blinking cursor in the rightmost column of the text dis-
play.
•
After pressing the “right” or the “enter” button, the active menu function is exectuted or a sub-
menu is opened, depending on the menu item.
•
Using the “left”-button, you can close a submenu or quit a function, returning to the next upper
menu, or even closing the menu system, if you are already in the topmost menu level.
•
For certain function, the menu system has “option” functions, i.e. you are allowed to select one of
several possibilties. With “up” and “down” you scroll through the options available. The actual se-
lected active option has a caret in the rightmost column of the text display. You select your option
by navigating to the line with your option, then pressing “right” or “enter” button.
•
For menu items requiring numerical entry (like IP adresses), you will have a cursor and be able to
modify each digit with the “up” and “down” keys and navigate through the positions with “left”
and “right” keys. Pressing “right”at the rightmost position of entry, you will acknowledge your en-
try, leaving entry “left” will cancel your input.
