Intended Audience and
Required Knowledge
Sections pertaining to common tasks require
only a basic knowledge of using MS Windows.
For example, you should be familiar with how
to:
•
Double-click, right-click, and drag-and-drop
items in MS Windows.
•
Select or enter values in an on-screen form,
and select
[OK]
when finished.
•
Respond to general/confirmation prompts.
Although the technical sections have also been
written with usability and simplicity in mind, the
procedures discussed there require a better
familiarity with both MS Windows, and
networking environments. For example:
•
Being comfortable configuring more
technical features, and using the Windows
"Control Panel";
•
How to get to a DOS/Command prompt
(e.g., to 'ping' an IP address).
Network Reliability:
Since this system
works through your network, any problems
with the network and/or permission issues
may block communications and/or cause
features to be unavailable.
The reliable operation of your network is the
responsibility of your network administrator.
