Help is available for many of the NMMGR screens you will be
using. It is available for all unguided NS configuration screens.
It is also available for the screens used to configure the distributed
terminal subsystem and those used for guided NS configuration. You
can also get help on general topics and NMMGR commands. Getting Help on Screens | |
The simplest way to use the help facility is to press the
[Help] function key while at the screen for which
you need information. (Entering HELP in the command
window also presents you with the help information for the current
screen.) You will immediately be presented with text that describes
the screen, each parameter configured using the screen, and the
operation associated with each of the screen's function
keys. Help messages are provided as an aid to configuration and
are not intended to be a complete reference. They provide only the
information that is immediately needed to understand how to use
a screen. If you need more detailed information than is provided
by a help message, refer to the configuration guide for the link
you are configuring. Entering Help Mode | |
You can also access the NMMGR help system by entering a ?
in the command window. This puts you into help mode, and presents
you with a list of available help topics. One of these topics, Index,
provides a list of parameters and the screens on which they are
configured. Path branching information is included where appropriate.
You can browse through the topics until you terminate help mode
by typing end, exit,
or :. Terminating help mode returns
you to the screen where you entered help mode. Getting Help on Specific Topics | |
You can use the HELP command followed by
a keyword to get help on a list of specific topics. The following
are the available help keywords: Enter HELP OVERVIEW
to see a brief explanation of the operation of NMMGR. Enter HELP ROADMAP to see a map
of the screen structure of NMMGR. You will also receive a list of
additional keywords, consisting of the subsystems supported by NMMGR.
Each of these subsystem names, such as LINKCONF,
can be used as a help message qualifier to obtain a map of the screens
pertaining to the listed subsystem. A qualifier, which also is considered
a keyword, must follow the main keyword with a comma separating
the two keywords. For example, if you wanted to see a map of LINKCONF
screens, you would enter HELP ROADMAP,LINKCONF
in the command window. Every screen name shown in these screen maps
is also a keyword and can be used with the HELP
command and the FIELDS qualifier. For example, if you wanted to
see field descriptions for the screen called LAN, you would enter
HELP LAN,FIELDS in the command window. Enter HELP COMMANDS to obtain
a list of commands available from within the screen interface. For
information about a specific command, enter the name of the command
as a keyword following the word HELP in the command
window. Enter HELP MAINT to see a list
of commands available within maintenance mode. For information about
a specific command, enter the name of the command as a keyword following
the word HELP in the command window. When you
obtain information about a specific command, the help text will
list any qualifiers, such as PARMS,
OPERATION, EXAMPLE,
and ALL. You then could enter the
command again, this time followed by a comma and a qualifier, to
obtain even more information.
