Effective use of the Web Portal requires a basic understanding of the physical elements of the tool, how to access its various components and knowing your current location in the Web Portal display. The following topics are covered:

  • Navigation and Information Panels
  • Knowing Your Location


Navigation and Information Panels

The Web Portal has been designed with a consistent streamlined approach for the presentation of Tmedia/Tdev configuration data. Information related to the hierarchy of data is displayed in the left-hand navigation panel, while information related to a selected category is displayed in the information panel found on the right side of the window.

Selecting a category in the navigation panel causes related configuration and status information to be dynamically displayed. The navigation panel displays information in a tree-like structure enabling you to understand how configuration parameters are contained by others.
