A logon is required to gain access to the Craft Interface. The logon remains active until either
the operator logs off or a user-selectable period of keyboard inactivity is exceeded. The
default time-out period is 30 minutes. Passwords are used to limit access to the system. When
you enter your assigned User Name, the Soneplex Broadband system will request a password.
When you enter your assigned password, the Main Menu appears. It includes the current
software version number (top right corner) and a copyright insignia. A default user ID and
password are available for a newly installed system; but to ensure system security, these
should be removed by the system administrator after the system is in operation.
3 EDITING FIELDS
The keyboard is used to select menus, view the various screens, and when necessary, to enter
alpha and numeric information into the system. Keyboard operations make use of the alpha
and numeric keys, arrow keys, enter or return key, space bar, and control key.
3.1 Cursor
In the Craft Interface system, a cursor is used to indicate menu selections, option settings, and
data entry fields. The cursor may take the form of a block, a highlighted field, or a flashing
line. When selecting a menu, the cursor is moved by pressing either the arrow or number keys.
When selecting an option setting or making a data entry, the cursor is moved by pressing the
arrow keys.
3.2 Arrow Keys
The arrow keys are used to move the cursor to indicate menu selections, option settings, and
data entry fields. In screens that have more than one page, the up and down arrow keys also
move the screen up or down one line at a time. In the same screens, the left arrow key moves
the screen up one page and the right arrow key moves the screen down one page. Each time
the screen is moved down one page, the last line from the previous screen is displayed as the
first line on the new page. Each time the screen is moved up one page, the first line from the
previous screen is displayed as the last line on the new page.
3.3 Enter and Return Keys
The Enter and Return keys causes the system to act on the data that was entered. Selections
may be entered into the system in one of two ways:
1. By pressing an arrow key and then the Enter or Return key once.
2. By pressing the Enter or Return key twice after all selections and entries are made in the
screen but before leaving the screen.
