Customizing On-Screen Help Messages

RTF Text Blocks

The error messages, tool tips, and on-screen help are controlled by using an RTF file. (The Monitor does

not control tool tips, on-screen help, or error messages using editable RTF files.) The file is named

1600All_RTF.RTF.

The tool tips, on-screen help text, and error messages are delimited into text blocks. The following are

examples of on-screen blocks of help text:

RTFID_2210

Connection Type Window

Allows Setup to change the network settings on your PC to match the setting on the

router.

Select Use the network to automatically change the settings.

Select Console Cable to keep your current settings and manually change them if necessary.

RTFID_2211

Use the Network

Select Use the network to automatically change the network settings on your PC to allow

the router to communicate with the PC through the LAN.

The help text-block format is as follows:

•

The tool tips and error messages are spread throughout the file and are identified by the syntax of the

message. Help text associated with the windows are identified by the window name and typically end

with the word "window" (or equivalent in the localized versions). The help text for each supported field

within a window immediately follows the help text for the window in which the field appears.

RTF Text Edits

The help messages filename is 1600All_RTF.RTF, and you can edit the RTF file with Microsoft Word,

a word processing application, or WordPad, a utility that comes with Microsoft Windows. Both

applications edit the file as a native format.

You can use any character or formatting that Microsoft Word or WordPad support, including

non-English characters and font changes. The default font and size is Ariel 9-point.

Microsoft Word 97 (with or without Service Pack 1) does not save RTF files in a

Note

backward-compatible format. If you edit the files by using Microsoft Word 97, you must

reload the file into WordPad and save it before Cisco 800 Fast Step can read it.
