Document Conventions
The ATM switch router documents are separated into two groups:
Basic documents are provided in the accessory kit with the hardware and are all the documentation
you need for initial installation and configuration information.
Advanced configuration documents are not provided in the accessory kit unl ess specifically ordered.
They are available on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM and offer configuration
information for more advanced applications of the ATM switch router.
The ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide is one of the advanced configuration documents
and should only be used after you have completed the processes described in the basic document set.
