2 USING THE CRAFT INTERFACE
After the initial installation of a Soneplex Broadband system, most testing and local
operations are conducted with the Craft Interface through a VT-100 compatible terminal. This
terminal is connected either to the front panel of the MPU plug-in module, or through a port
located on the rear of the Soneplex Broadband chassis. Both of these connecting points
provide a standard EIA-232C interface.
(this section), provides instructions on how to use the Craft
contains NTPs, DLPs, TAPs, and TADs for
, located at the back of this manual provides
When you are configuring the Soneplex Broadband system, monitoring alarms, or clearing
trouble, the TOP procedure guides you through a series of menu commands using the Craft
Interface. The Main Menu on the Craft Interface lists all the major functions, while sub-menus
further break down the functions. The menu structure is shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. Soneplex Broadband (V5) Craft Interface Menu Tree
UNUSED IN THE SONEPLEX
BROADBAND CHASSIS (V5)
AT THIS TIME.
A logon is required to gain access to the Craft Interface. The logon remains active until either
the operator logs off or a user-selectable period of keyboard inactivity is exceeded. The
default time-out period is 30 minutes. Passwords are used to limit access to the system. When
you enter your assigned User Name, the Soneplex Broadband system will request a password.
When you enter your assigned password, the Main Menu appears. It includes the current
software version number (top right corner) and a copyright insignia. A default user ID and
password are available for a newly installed system; but to ensure system security, these
should be removed by the system administrator after the system is in operation.
3 EDITING FIELDS
The keyboard is used to select menus, view the various screens, and when necessary, to enter
alpha and numeric information into the system. Keyboard operations make use of the alpha
and numeric keys, arrow keys, enter or return key, space bar, and control key.
In the Craft Interface system, a cursor is used to indicate menu selections, option settings, and
data entry fields. The cursor may take the form of a block, a highlighted field, or a flashing
line. When selecting a menu, the cursor is moved by pressing either the arrow or number keys.
When selecting an option setting or making a data entry, the cursor is moved by pressing the
arrow keys.
3.2 Arrow Keys
The arrow keys are used to move the cursor to indicate menu selections, option settings, and
data entry fields. In screens that have more than one page, the up and down arrow keys also
move the screen up or down one line at a time. In the same screens, the left arrow key moves
the screen up one page and the right arrow key moves the screen down one page. Each time
the screen is moved down one page, the last line from the previous screen is displayed as the
first line on the new page. Each time the screen is moved up one page, the first line from the
previous screen is displayed as the last line on the new page.
3.3 Enter and Return Keys
The Enter and Return keys causes the system to act on the data that was entered. Selections
may be entered into the system in one of two ways:
1. By pressing an arrow key and then the Enter or Return key
once
.
2. By pressing the Enter or Return key
screen but before leaving the screen.
Pressing the space bar when the cursor is in a toggle field changes the item at the cursor. If the
item is selected from a list of options, pressing the space bar brings up the next choice.
3.5 “R” Key
If you press the “R” key by itself when you are in a toggle field, the selection will revert to its
previous value.
3.6 Control Key
Special functions are activated by pressing the Control key and another key at the same time,
as shown in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1. Control Key Functions

KEY AND PRESSING…
3.7 Pop-Up Screens
In some areas of the Craft Interface, screens pop up presenting error data and information
screens to assist you in operating the system. The information is displayed in a box that appears
in front of the current screen display in reverse image (i.e., light on dark).
3.8 Help Screen
A help screen is available from all screens. Pressing CONTROL-A activates the help screen.
The help screen displays information about moving among the fields and making edits.

3.9 Data Entry
Table 1-2 shows the different field types in the Craft Interface, and how to enter data in them.
A "toggle" field type means the user can press the space bar and "R" key to view and select
different options that are described. An "input" field type means the user must type an entry in
the field according to the parameters described. A "fixed" field is locked, and cannot be changed
by the user.

4 USING A TOP DOCUMENT
The procedures in this section are written in the Task Oriented Practice (TOP) format. The TOP
method of presenting information provides step-by-step instructions for the successful completion
of the indicated task. To find the instructions for performing enclosure installation, plug-in unit
installation and initial turn-up, and installation troubleshooting tasks, follow these steps:
1. Find the task to be performed in the Task Index List (IXL-001).
2. Locate the specified director level, detail level, or trouble-clearing procedure. All
procedures are in numerical order, regardless of type. The TOP procedures in this
manual are of the following four types:
•Non Trouble Clearing Procedure (NTP): A director level procedure that lists normal
work items to be performed that are not trouble clearing procedures.
•Trouble Analysis Procedure (TAP): A director level procedure that provides step-bystep instructions to locate and fix trouble.
•Detailed Level Procedure (DLP): Detailed step-by-step instructions or procedures.
•Trouble Analysis Data (TAD): A trouble-clearing aid containing non-procedural data.
3. Perform all the items in the director level procedure (NTP or TAP) in the order listed
unless sent to another director level procedure. When a director level procedure is
finished, the task is completed. When more detailed information is required, the reader
will be sent to a DLP. A DLP may also direct the reader to another DLP.
When a DLP is complete, return to the procedure that preceded the DLP.
Note:
When sent from one director level procedure to another director level procedure,
Note:
in most instances it will not be necessary to go back to the first director level procedure
after competing the second.
4. In some procedures, it will be necessary to verify that certain responses have occurred. If
the expected response is not observed, refer to the appropriate TAP. If additional data is
required (such as a schematic diagram, line drawing, tabulated data, maintenance
philosophy, or trouble-clearing strategy), the reader will be sent to a TAD.
