5.6.3.3 Guided Input
As shown in Figure 5-115, fields that require datafill are highlighted to help the user fill out the applicable fields. The high-
lighted fields work as follows:
• Fields that require datafill are highlighted.
• When more than one field is highlighted, at least one of these fields require datafill.
• After one field is filled in, any fields that still require input are highlighted. Also, other fields may be enabled (high-
lighted) or disabled.
• If invalid data is input into a highlighted field, the field remains highlighted.
The figure also shows the Preferences Panel, allowing the user to control which panels are allowed to appear, so that certain
fields that are never/rarely used do not appear.
Preferences work as follows:
• Preferences are persistent (over restarts of the client).
• Preferences are on a per-client basis.
Finally, note that the size of the form is persistent.
5.6.3.4 Guided Input for ADSL G.Bond
Provisioning is done through the Triple Play provisioning GUIs, and launching them is unchanged. However when an
ADSL port is selected that is on a card that supports bonding, the GUI is changed as follows:
• ADSL-BOND type profiles are included in the Port Profile selector in addition to the regular ADSL profiles.
• Following the Slot.Port (the Primary Port) field is a new selector field, Bond To. It is populated with the other unas-
signed ports on the same card as the primary port. If the primary port is already the primary port of an AtmBond, the cur-
rent bonded port is displayed; otherwise it is blank
• Selecting a Blank profile entry enables the Bonded Port field, but makes it not required.
• Selecting an ADSL-BOND profile will make the Bond Port field a required entry.
• Selecting a port in the Bonded Port selector will limit the Port Profile selector to only ADSL-BOND type profiles (plus
the Blank entry), and will display a second POTS line in the Voice Configuration panel.
• Selecting a blank bonded port removes any extra POTS line fields that are visible.
