The design of a network is a complex and highly specialized process. Due to the
different nature of each and every cabling installation and the special problems
and concerns raised by any facility, there may be aspects of network design that
are not covered in this guide.
If you have doubts about your network design, or if you require installation
personnel to perform the actual installation of hardware and cabling, Cabletron
Systems maintains a staff of network design personnel and highly-trained cabling
and hardware installation technicians. The services of the Networking Services
group are available to customers at any time. If you are interested in obtaining
design assistance or a network installation plan from the Networking Services
group, contact your Cabletron Systems Sales Representative.
In addition to the availability of Networking Services, the Cabletron Systems
Technical Support department is available to answer customer questions
regarding existing Cabletron Systems networks or planned expansion issues.
Contact Cabletron Systems at (603) 332-9400 to reach the Technical Support
department with any specific product-related questions you may have.
