In general, F1 is used to exit from the current screen, and F7 and F8 are used respectively to
display the previous screen and the next screen within the set of screens that apply to the particular
data item being controlled or when there are more items then will fit into a single screen.

Use the up and down arrow keys to select the data item to be controlled, then press the applicable
function key for the system action to be taken.

Control Pollers Function Keys
F2 HALT. Stop a poller when work is to be performed on devices attached to the poller or to reload
a poller parameter following a change.
F3 RESTART. Restart the poller when work is completed (system displays messages announcing
each device attached to the poller as it comes back online). If there are devices with system or key
checksum errors, perform a reset to the device.
F4 DEV COMM. This function monitors communication between the pollers and the device pollers.
In normal operation, the devices are asked for information by the pollers many times a second,
and with a properly operating system the controller screen updates rapidly.
