Cyclades-PR4000

CHAPTER 1 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Three Cyclades manuals are related to the PR4000.

1The Quick Installation Manual -- provided with the router,

2The Installation Manual -- available electronically on the Cyclades web site,

3The CyROS Reference Guide -- also available electronically on the Cyclades web site.

CyROS stands for the Cyclades Routing Operating System. It is the operating system for all Cyclades Power Routers (PR1000, PR2000, PR3000, and PR4000). The CyROS Reference Guide contains complete information about the features and configuration of all products in the PR line.

CyROS is constantly evolving, and the menus in this manual might be slightly different from the menus in the router. The latest version of all three manuals (and the latest version of CyROS) can be downloaded from Cyclades’ web site. All manuals indicate on the second page the manual version and the corresponding version of CyROS.

The first three chapters of this manual should be read in the order written, with exceptions given in the text. The most appropriate example in Chapter 4 should then be read, with chapters 5 through 14 providing complementary information.

Chapter 2 - What is in the Box - explains how the router should be connected.

Chapter 3 -Using Menus - describes CyROS menu navigation.

Chapter 4 -Step-by-Step Instructions for Common Applications - guide to configuration with detailed examples.

Chapters 5 to 11- Basic router configuration information for applications that do not fit any of the examples in chapter 4.

Chapter 12 - CyROS - shows how to set router specific parameters and create lists of hosts and users.

Chapter 13 - Network Address Translation - describes CyROS’ NAT implementation.
