Finding Configuration Options
There are three ways to locate particular configuration options: you can use the search function, or display the whole list, or use the available service perspectives (E-Line, E-LAN, IP).
Searching
To search for a specific configuration option:
- Click the magnifying glass icon.
The search term bar appears.
- Enter your search term.
As soon as you enter the first two letters, the bar opens downwards, displaying the search results.
Search displays only the first ten matches for your term .
Tip Search results appear while you are typing. You can continue typing or even delete text. Note that the cursor might not be visible in the search field if the focus is somewhere within the list of search results.
The order of the search results is not dependent on the order of those items in the Available Configuration panel. It is based on the similarity of your search term to indexed fields.
- While the result list is still visible, select a result
by:
Using the mouse to click on it.
Pressing the Enter key to select the first result in the list.
Using the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to move through the list, pressing the Enter key to select a result.
The tree in the Available Configuration panel jumps to the location of the match for the result you selected and highlights the option. The list of results disappears.
- (Optional) To review the results that you did not select, either:
Click the white arrows next to the Search field.
Click the arrow to the left to move to the result listed previous to the selected result.
Click the arrow to the right to move to the resulted after the selected result.
Use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard.
Press the arrow to the left to move to the result listed previous to the selected result.
Press the arrow to the right to move to the resulted after the selected result.
- To close the search bar, click the X in the top right corner of the bar.
Displaying all configuration options: To display the top level configuration options, click the plus sign [+] or expansion icon at the top of the tree in the Available Configuration panel. Many of the options contain further parameters. To display these, click on the plus sign [+] or expansion icon left of the option.
