Using the Keyboard
The keyboard is used by itself to select NMS functions and with the mouse to
enter information into the database.
Choosing a Pull-Down Menu from the Menu Bar
To choose a pull-down menu from the menu bar, press the Alt key, highlight the
menu that you want to select using one of the cursor keys and press Enter. Or,
type Alt + the underlined letter of the desired pull-down menu listed in the menu
bar.
Choosing a Window or Cascading Menu from a Pull-Down Menu
To choose a window or a cascading menu from the pull-down menu, highlight the
window (or cascading menu) that you want to choose using the cursor keys and
press Enter. Or, type the underlined letter of the window (or cascading menu).
Keyboard Accelerators
Keyboard accelerators are keyboard commands designed to allow an
experienced user to perform a selected task more quickly. Various windows have
certain keyboard accelerators assigned to perform specific functions by pressing
just a few keys.
For example, the Network Map enables you to acknowledge an alert for the
currently selected device(s) by pressing the Ctrl + A keys rather than having you
select Acknowledge Alert from the menu.
The keyboard accelerators available for a specific window are described at the
end of each chapter discussing that window.
