• A key stroke is denoted by square brackets and uppercase text, for example, [ENTER]

• “Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and then press the [ENTER] key.

“Select” or “choose” means for you to use one of the predefined choices.

• A right angle bracket ( > ) within a screen name denotes a mouse click. For example,

Maintenance > Log > Log Setting means you first click Maintenance in the navigation

panel, then the Log sub menu and finally the Log Setting tab to get to that screen.

example, “k” for kilo may denote “1000” or “1024”, “M” for mega may denote “1000000”

or “1048576” and so on.
