Notes for Using the Configuration Manager
The notes for using the Configuration Manager include the following topics:
Navigation
The Configuration Manager is divided into several areas:
Horizontal Navigation Bar
You can use the horizontal navigation bar to show or hide the Navigation area. The navigation area contains the Help area.
Use the  Logout button in the horizontal navigation bar to log out from the Configuration Manager.
Navigation area
If the navigation area is shown, a vertical directory tree is displayed under Navigation. Most topics are consolidated under a main topic () to help you identify them. To select the topic or main topic, simply click it. If sub-topics are available, open the list by clicking on it, or on the plus character in front of the main topic. Then click the topic () to select it.
The topic you have chosen opens to the right, on the screen.
Click the or button to open or close the directory tree completely.
A vertical line separates the Navigation area (with the directory tree) and the selected screen. To enlarge the area, click and hold the cursor above the separator line and slide the line to the location (automatically makes the other areas smaller).
Click the buttons (e.g. View, Configure) on the selected screen to open subsequent screens that are not listed in the tree. To return to the home screen, click back.
On some screens you can select sub-topics directly by clicking on tabs. The active tab is marked in a different colour.
Help Area
The Help area with links to a variety of help topics is located at the bottom of the Navigation area. This is where you see the help topics that are relevant to the configuration page which is currently open (see Introduction to the Configuration Manager > Help).
Note: The Help area can be displayed or hidden.
Logging Out
The  Logout button is located in the horizontal navigation bar. Click  Logout to log out of the Configuration Manager.
