Introduction
This guide provides the information you need to
install and configure the SuperStack
® II Switch 1000
24 Port (3C16900A) and the SuperStack II Switch
1000 12 Port (3C16901A) with v3.1 agent software.
The functionality of both units is identical, although
the local management screens reflect the different
number of ports. Where appropriate, these differ-
ences are noted.
The guide is intended for use by network adminis-
trators who are responsible for installing and set-
ting up network equipment; consequently, it
assumes a basic working knowledge of Local Area
Networks.
If the information in the Release Notes shipped

this guide, follow the Release Notes.
