KwikNet System Configuration

Field Editing

When editing a parameter file, a collection of tabbed property sheets is displayed in the

central region of the screen. Each tab provides access to a particular property page

through which your configuration parameters can be declared. For instance, if while

editing your Network Parameter File, you select the

Networks tab, the Configuration

Manager will present a network definition window (property page) containing all of the

parameters you must provide to completely define a network.

Some fields are boolean options in which all you can do is turn the option on or off by

checking or unchecking the associated check box.

Some fields are option fields in which you must select one of a set of options identified

with radio buttons or pull down lists. Click on the option button or pick the list item

which meets your preference.

Other fields may require numeric or text entry. Parameters are entered or edited in these

fields by typing new values or text to replace the current field content. Only displayable

characters can be entered. New characters which you enter are inserted at the current

cursor position in the field. Right and left arrow, backspace and delete keys may be used

to edit the field.

When you are altering a numeric or text field, you tell the Configuration Manager that

you are finished editing the field by striking the

Enter key. At that point, the

Configuration Manager checks the numeric value or text string that you have entered for

correctness in the context of the current field. If the value or text string that you have

entered is invalid, an error indication is provided on the status bar at the bottom of the

screen suggesting how the fault should be corrected.

The Tab and Shift-Tab keys can also be used to complete the editing of a field and move to

the next or previous field.

If you have modified some of the fields on a property page and then decide that these

modified values are not correct, use the Undo Page command on the Edit menu or Toolbar

to force the Configuration Manager to restore the content of all fields on the page to the

values which were in effect when you moved to that property page.

When you go to save your parameter file or prepare to move to another property page, the

Configuration Manager will validate all parameters on the page which you are leaving. If

any parameters are incomplete or inconsistent with each other, you will be forced to fix

the problem before being allowed to proceed.
