Moving Through the Menus
To select a menu item, press the letter to the left of the item.
To return to the next higher menu from a lower-level, press [F3] .
To move from operations under one Main Menu entry to operations under another
entry, you must return to the Main Menu. The easiest way is to press
[F3] repeatedly
until the Main Menu is displayed.
Prompts
Within the menu operations, there are two kinds of prompts:
●
Information prompts – respond by typing the requested information, then
pressing
[Enter] .
●
Yes/no prompts – respond by pressing [Y] or [N] .
Throughout this manual are tables of valid and default values. To specify a default (if
one exists), press
[Enter] in response to a prompt.
Pressing [Enter] when it is not required may cause the next
prompt to automatically select the default choice.
On-Line Help
Most screen menus display a prompt called Option: . Pressing [?] in response to this
prompt will usually display a list of options. To make a selection, press either the
function key shown preceding the desired option or the character preceding the
desired menu item. The list of options varies, depending on what menu is displayed;
all the options are described below. (Function key equivalents on an async terminal
keypad are listed on
page 2-8 .)
F1: Select Another Record or Redisplay/Refresh :
Next Record —displays the first prompt that appeared on your screen after you
made your menu selection, so you can specify another record.
Redisplay/Refresh —refreshes a display with updated information.
F2: Next Record or Remote Refresh :
Next Record —displays the next sequential record on your screen for verification,
modification, or deletion.
Remote Refresh —refreshes a remote display.

Some menus have two sets of values: Database and System Memory .
Changes will affect only the database, unless you press [F7] before
pressing [F3] . (This will update the system memory.) Database and
System memory values are described on page 4-2 for Node Defaults
and page 6-3 for Ports.
