2. Using the Interface
The SE Utilities Window
The SE Utilities Window
The NV9000-SE interface is divided into two main areas: a navigation area and a work area, as
shown in Figure 2-1. When the application first launches, the work area is blank. A menu bar at the
top of the screen provides quick access to general tasks, such as opening, closing and saving files.

Navigation Area
The navigation area features four sections, called “panes.” Clicking on a pane slides it up to the top
of the navigation area to display a list of options. In Figure 2-1, the ‘Configuration’ pane has been
clicked, displaying a list of options related to configuration tasks. Clicking on an option title opens
related tabbed pages in the work area.
To scroll through panes in the navigation area, press CTRL+Tab on your keyboard.
Work Area
The work area displays tabbed windows (pages). In general, there are three types of windows that
display:
• Pages — Lists all items of a selected type in the system or details for a selected item. Manages
almost all information for a selected, single item.
• Table — Lists all items of a selected type in the system, based on specific, limited criteria, and
manages very specific information.
• Wizard — A step-by-step guide that helps you perform a specific configuration task quickly and
accurately.
Pages, tables and wizards share databases so that changes in one interface updates all correspond-
ing fields in all related interfaces.
To advance from field to field on a page, press TAB on your keyboard. To move between fields, but
in reverse, press SHIFT+TAB.
