System Administrator Requirements
In compiling this manual, we have had to make certain assump-
tions about the knowledge of users who will install the product.
The documentation assumes that the system administrator is
familiar with Novell networks and/or IP networks, as well as
networks in general. Novell offers a variety of programs to
certify administrators in network technology. TCP/IP informa-
tion is available from a variety of sources, some of which are
covered below.
After reviewing this manual, users should decide if their ability
is sufficient to handle the technical details of installation. If the
assistance of a qualified professional is needed, we recommend
that you consult with your nearest authorized U.S. Robotics
Platinum reseller for advice. For a service fee, U.S. Robotics also
offers qualified engineering assistance on site. Contact Systems
Product Support at (800) 231-8770 for more information.
