Online Help Features, Supported Browsers, and Limitations

Online Help for the U.S. Robotics Professional Access Point Administration Web pages provides information about all fields and features available on the user interface. The information in the Online Help is a subset of the information available in the full Administrator Guide.

Online Help information corresponds to each tab on the U.S. Robotics Professional Access Point Administration user interface. Click the Help button on a tab or the "More . . ." link at the bottom of the inline help panel on the UI for help information for the settings on the current tab.

Navigating the Online Help

Once you have a Help window open, you can navigate through all the Help topics using the Next/Previous buttons at the top and bottom of the Help window, or link directly to the Glossary. (Or you can close the current window, and re-open the Help from another Administration tab.)

To jump to a cross-reference, click on the link (blue underlined text).

To navigate back or forward to links you have already taken (link history), use the Back/Forward buttons.

To view a linked list of all Help topics, click the "TOC" icon.

To navigate through all Help topics in book sequence, click the Next/Previous icons.

Using the Glossary

To view a Glossary popup definition (Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers only), click on the Glossary term (gold underlined text).

To view the entire Glossary (all terms and definitions), click the "Glossary" icon at the bottom of the Help window.

Accessing Glossary Definitions in non IE Web Browsers

Mozilla based browsers (Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, and Mozilla Firebird) do not support the implementation of glossary "popups" used in the Online Help.

In these browsers, you cannot view the definition for a term simply by clicking on the inline term; you must link to the Glossary topic instead by clicking on the Glossary icon at the bottom of the Help window or navigating to the Glossary from the TOC.
