INTRODUCTION
Do I really have to read all this?
or
What’s this manual all about, and how do I use it?
Read on. The answer to the first question is no— not right now. The answer to the second question is in
the pages that follow.
Welcome to the Octel 200/300 Manual
The Octel 200/300 Manual contains information about the Octel 200 and the Octel 300 message servers
(referred to as the Octel 200/300). The Manual is divided into two parts:
-Octel 200/300 System Administrator’s Manual (SAM)
-Octel 200/300 Installation and Maintenance Manual (I&M)
Together,the SAM and I&M are the complete reference for the Octel 200/300 message servers.
.The I&M manual is not designed to be used as a standalone reference manual.
The Octel 200/300 SAM & I&M volumes are written for people performing a variety of job functions at
various stages of learning about and implementing Octel 200/300 message servers. Some volumes
educate while others serve as a reference.
The manual is not designed to be read straight through, or used only in reference to a question about
Octel 200/300 message servers. Instead, it offers a structure from which to approach Octel 200/300
message servers — a sequence which closely parallels the process of discovery, assessment, design, and
strategic implementation. It also suggests guidelines for directing readers to the chapters that will benefit
them the most, based on their interests, job functions, and customer needs.
