Starting the Information Center

The Information Center can be started with or without the search feature. From the CD, double click on one of the following:

index.htm: Does not run the Search application.
start.exe: Runs the Search Application.

The left frame of your browser displays a Table of Contents for navigation, and the document content is displayed in the right frame.

Information Center Interface

Some of the information in the Information Center is now in easy-to-use, single-subject articles. This provides faster access, downloading, and printing of the subjects you need.

Search Application Notes

Choosing A Browser

If you have more than one browser installed on your PC, you will be prompted which one you'd like to use the first time you execute the start.exe program. If at some later time you would like to change your browser selection, execute the /_nti40/bin/v_uninst.exe utility. (The v_uninst.exe utility is fast and will not notify you when it is done.) The next time you lauch the Information Center you will once again be prompted for your browser choice.

Case-Sensitive Searching

When you enter your search term(s) in either all uppercase or lowercase, your search will ignore case and include stemming (any forms of the root word). When you enter your search term(s) in mixed case, your search will find only occurrences of that search term with exactly the same use of case and will not include stemming.

Navigating Search Matches

Once you have opened a document from the search results list, you will see a "Go to First Occurrence" link at the top of the document. This link will take you to the first match of your search term in that document. Matches will have a left angle bracket link preceding them if there is a previous match and a right angle bracket link following them if there is a a subsequent match.

Compatibility Issue with Aventail

There is a known compatibility issue between the search application and Aventail Connect software. You will not be able to run them concurrently.
