Trusted Access Manager Help

Welcome to the online help system for Enterasys Sentinel^TM Trusted Access Manager.

All Trusted Access Manager documentation is available in the online help system. Online help is available from the Help menus and Help buttons throughout Trusted Access Manager. The Help viewer is divided into two panels. The left panel contains two tabs: the Table of Contents tab and the Search tab. The right panel displays the actual help text itself.

Accessing Help

There are several ways to access the help system:

For help on any Trusted Access Manager feature, select the Help > Help Topics menu option.
For help on the tab currently displayed in the right panel, select the Help > About This Window menu option.
Help on a particular window is also often available via a Help button on the window itself.

Table of Contents Tab

Click on the Table of Contents Tab in the left panel to display a list of help topics for Trusted Access Manager. The Table of Contents is "collapsed" when you first open the help. To expand any folder in the Table of Contents, double-click it. When you click on an item in the Table of Contents, the associated help topic appears in the right panel. If the help topic you select is located within a long file, you may need to wait a second or two for the help window to locate your particular topic within the file.

Search Tab

To search for specific instances of a term in all the help topics, click the Search tab in the left panel. In the Find box, enter the term for which you want to search and press Enter. A list of topics in which the term appears is displayed, along with the number of instances found in each topic. The first instance in the first topic is highlighted in the right panel. You can then scroll through that help topic, or select another from the list, to view the other instances of the search term within the topic.

There is a limit on the number of instances of the criteria that can be highlighted during one search. If the number of "hits" exceeds this limit, the help window highlights the closest matches within each topic, rather than all of them, and if the hits greatly exceed the limit, it highlights only the first few hits in each file. You can't do searches on terms like "the" and "and."

Help Topics with Graphics

Some of the help topics contain a graphic (image) of a Trusted Access Manager window or tab. These graphics are usually clickable so that you can navigate easily to the field definition or area of the window on which you need information. If the full graphic is not displayed in the help window when it first loads, you may need to click once on the graphic to display it fully before the graphic's hotspots will work.
