Switch Integration Device Basics
The Switch Integration Device
Software
The SID contains software that allows you to perform installation, configuration,
and diagnostic tasks by using the keypad and the LCD screen. As you
administer the SID, you use three types of forms or screen displays. Each type of
form has a specific task.
■ Menu Forms — used to select one of several options.
■ Edit Forms — used to enter information into the SID’s configuration.
■ Action Forms — used to perform an action, view event logs, or monitor the
system.
This section contains descriptions and examples of each form and provides you
with instructions for using the forms. You also can find tables that show you valid
key actions for each form.
Menu Forms
Menu forms allow you to select options by pressing a key. You can select another
menu, an edit form, or an action form. The menu forms allow you to move
between important forms by pressing only a few keys. Figure 2-2. shows you the
MCI User Interface Main Menu.
Figure 2-2. The MCI User Interface Main Menu
A menu form contains two items:
NEC 1-View 2-Utils 3-System
4-Setup 5-Logs
Name You can find the menu name in the upper left hand corner
of the LCD display. Use the name as a reference item.
List of options Menus show you different options. Each option has a
number and a label. Not all menus contain the same
number of options. To select an option from a menu, press
the option number on the keypad. The SID clears the
current form from the LCD display and places the form you
selected on the display. The label you selected appears
as the name of the form.
