CHAPTER
User Interface
User Interface overview
The user interface consists of a Menu Bar, child windows, a Toolbar, a Status Bar and dialog boxes.
The user interface follows an object-oriented principle, where available operations are provided by
means of context sensitive popup menus. All supported operations are also available in the menu bar.
Each child window has a context sensitive popup menu that can be activated by clicking the right
mouse button. This menu gives available operations in the selected window. The child window may
have a specific area with its own context sensitive menu.
As some child windows require data retrieved from the node, this may cause some delay before the
contents of the window can be seen. Only one instance of each child window can be open at a time.
You can modify information included in the dialog boxes. In the connect mode, clicking the OK or
→Apply button will send the modified data to the node. In the file mode, selecting the →Save / Save As
menu command saves the modified data in a file.
All operations in the manager are accessible by mouse or keyboard. The toolbar also provides buttons
for most frequently needed commands.
Figure 3 : E1/T1 Manager Main Window
Menu Bar
Menu bar provides access to all features available for any given state of the Element manager. Menu
item availability depends upon the following factors: Whether connected or not, whether the manager is
in file (virtual) mode and user access level. Depending on the situation, some menu items may be
disabled. All menu items have a hint text that appears on the status bar
Toolbar
The toolbar provides short-cuts to commonly used menu options. The toolbar is normally displayed
below the menu bar, and it cannot be overdrawn by the child windows (an exception is the dockable
window). The toolbar is fixed (cannot be floated). The functions of the toolbar can also be executed by
a menu command (from a popup menu or the menu bar).
You can choose to display or hide the toolbar by switching it on and off using the Tools | Toolbar menu
command. The toolbar is on by default. You can also choose whether the toolbar has large or small
(default) icons using the →Tools | Large Icons menu command.
Each toolbar item has a toolbar tip text. The tip text is a text box that appears below the toolbar.
Status Bar
The status bar appears at the bottom of the application’s main window and the child windows cannot
overdraw it. The status bar is used to display context related messages. The status bar also indicates
the state of the manager whether it is connected to the unit.
The messages displayed in the status bar are the following types:
help message, which relates to the element currently pointed at (a menu option or a button on the
toolbar)
status message, which informs you about the completion of an action, for example
The status bar can be toggled on and off using the Tools | Status Bar menu command. The status bar
is on by default.
Some of the child windows may also have a status bar of their own.
Context Sensitive Popup Menus
The child windows support a context sensitive popup menu if related menu activities are available.
Popup menus provide access to essential operations. The menus are defined with each window
specification. If an object in the window is selected (by clicking the right mouse button), the context
sensitive menu for that object is activated. If no object is selected (by clicking the right mouse button),
the default popup menu for the window is opened.
The popup menu is also accessible by pressing the Shift+F10 keys or the special popup menu button
on Win95 keyboards. One item in the context sensitive menu can be a default item. It is indicated by
bold font. The operation behind a default item is activated by double-clicking the selected object with
the left mouse button. This corresponds to pressing the Enter key.
Keyboard Access
The keyboard can be used to control the manager. All functions of the manager are accessible using
the keyboard. Exception: clicking a list control column header to perform a sort operation.
The tab key is used to move the cursor in child windows and dialog boxes. The most frequently
used commands have short-cut keys.
Table 1 :
Command Short-cut
File | New Ctrl + N
File | Open Ctrl + O
File | Save Ctrl + S
File | Save As Ctrl + Shift + S
File | Print Ctrl + P
File | Exit Alt + F4
Connection | Connect Locally Ctrl + L
Connection | Refresh All Ctrl + R, F5
Progress Indication
You must wait while the manager communicates with the node. The length of this delay depends on the
amount of information transferred. An hourglass is shown to indicate that an operation is expected to
take place in a relatively short time. A progress dialog box is shown to indicate a lengthy operation.
The manager provides as accurate information as possible about operation progression.
Progress dialog box
This is the default progress animation shown when a lengthy operation is running. The bottom of the
dialog box includes a progress bar and a percentage value showing progress.
Detailed Progress dialog box
You may expand this dialog box to show more detailed information about the operation in progress.
The expanded dialog box contains an additional text box that receives information about the currently
ongoing operation.
