About This Guide
How to use this guide
This manual is part of a set that describes all the standard features of a Pipeline
running software version 6.0. Some features might not be available with older
versions of the software, or with specialty software loads, such as IP-, IPX-, or
AppleTalk-only versions of the software.
Use this manual to find out what the Pipeline is used for, how to install it, and
how to configure a basic connection. This manual supplies all of the information
you need when using the Pipeline to connect to a single location.
What you should know
This guide is for anyone installing the Pipeline and setting up a primary
configuration. To install and configure the Pipeline at this level, you only need
basic knowledge about using your computer’s operating system, and how to
connect cables to your computer hardware.
To administer the unit or troubleshoot router connections, a basic understanding
of the TCP/IP protocol is helpful. Additionally, it is helpful to know how to use
Telnet, Ping, and VT100 terminal emulation software.
