Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual

This section contains examples and descriptions of the EMS Maintenance

Interface “screens.” The descriptions cover all menu items, all “dashboard”

indicators, all mouse-selectable controls, and all data entry fields.

4.1 EMS Pull-Down Menus

The EMS toolbar, shown in Figure 48, is a standard Windows application toolbar

with pull-down menus. It is present at all times when EMS is running.

4.1.1 File Menu

The File menu has one item, Exit. Selecting this item terminates the program.

4.1.2 Edit Menu

The Edit menu contains standard Windows items plus a Preferences item which

is unique to EMS. Copy and Paste can be used to copy text from the NOC-NEM

terminal (within the Maintenance Interface) to an outside application such as a

text editor. Cut does the same as Copy.

Selecting the Preferences item in the Edit menu displays the Preferences

window, shown in Figure 49. The Preferences window is used in defining EMS

ports and paths for system files, as well as for several other system options.

Table 4 describes the items in the Preferences window.
