About the On-line Manuals

Introduction

The on-line manuals are in an HTML format and contain three guides, two sets of appendix notes and a glossary.

• Installer's guide — this manual.
• Administrator's guide — includes X.25, LAPB, Frame Relay and raw synchronous configurations diagnostics and troubleshooting.
• Programmer's guide — includes a description of the protocol library that provides interfaces available to application developers.
• Utilities — are UNIX-style manuals describing the usage of the various utilities and configuration files.
• Glossary

The guides also contain information on obtaining technical support via telephone, fax, e-mail, ftp or The Software Group web site.

The guides are written for:

• a system administrator
• a person writing programs that use WAN communications APIs
• a person using the applications that TSG provides

The Software Group's technical support strongly recommend that you take a few moments to install the on-line manuals and browse through them.
