Conventions used

This topic describes the terminology and typographical conventions that are used in this Message Networking online Help in the following areas:

General conventions

The online Help uses the following general conventions:

  • Unvisited links appear as blue underlined text. Visited links appear as green underlined text.
  • System messages and prompts that appear in a command line interface are represented in the typewriter-style Courier font, as shown in the following example:
    The system displays the following message:
    Update was successful.
  • System message and prompts that appear in the Web-based interface appear in regular text surrounded by quotation marks.
  • Selections you make in the interface and data you enter are shown in bold text. For example, "click Save to save the page changes."
  • Type means to press the key or the sequence of keys specified. For example, an instruction to enter a name is shown as:
    Type the name of the subscriber you are adding.

Safety and security alert labels

This topic uses the following symbols to call your attention to potential problems that could cause personal injury, damage to equipment, loss of data, service interruptions, or breaches of toll fraud security.

Caution:� Indicates the presence of a hazard that, if not avoided, can or will cause minor personal injury or property damage, including loss of data.

Warning!:� Indicates the presence of a hazard that, if not avoided, can cause death or severe personal injury.

Web-based administration

The online Help for Web-based administration pages uses the following conventions:

  • A page refers to the information that is displayed in the Web-based interface.
  • Field names on the Web-based pages are shown in regular text.

Keyboard

  • Keys that you press on the keyboard of your computer are shown in bold, initial capital letters. For example, an instruction to press the Enter key is shown as:
  • Press Enter.

  • Two keys that you press at the same time on the keyboard of your computer (that is, you press and hold down the first key and then press the second key) are represented as a series of key names separated by a plus sign (+). For example, an instruction to press and hold Alt while typing the letter d is shown as:
  • Press Alt+D.

  • A combination keystroke is a series of keystrokes that combines the two key functions as described above plus a third key. That is, you press and hold down the first key, then press the second key, and then release those keys and press a third key. This third key is separated from the first two by a space. For example, an instruction to press and hold Alt while typing the letter d and then typing the number 1 is shown as:
  • Press Alt+D 1.
