Syntax Conventions

• The ES1100-8P, ES1100-16, ES1100-16P, ES1100-24, ES1100-24E and ES1100-24G may be

referred to as the “Switch”, the “device”, the “system” or the “product” in this User’s Guide.

Differentiation is made where needed.

• Product labels, screen names, field labels and field choices are all in bold font.

• A key stroke is denoted by square brackets and uppercase text, for example, [ENTER] means the

“enter” or “return” key on your keyboard.

• “Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and then press the [ENTER] key. “Select”

or “choose” means for you to use one of the predefined choices.

• Units of measurement may denote the “metric” value or the “scientific” value. For example, “k”

for kilo may denote “1000” or “1024”, “M” for mega may denote “1000000” or “1048576” and so

on.

• “e.g.,” is a shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.,” means “that is” or “in other words”.
