About This Guide
The Purpose of This Guide
The 3886 AWAN Server Installation and Configuration Guide describes how to
configure and manage asynchronous wide area network (AWAN) server models
3886-08, 3886-16, and 3886-32 from the Digital Networking Products Group (formerly
Digital Equipment Corporation and Cabletron).
Who Should Use This Guide
This guide is written for anyone who installs and manages the AWAN server models
3886-8A, 3886-16, and 3886-32. The guide describes special AWAN features, such as
6530 support, and selected features separate from the standard DNPG DECserver
product. For more details about DECserver standard features, refer to the relevant
DNPG documentation. The DNAS CD ROM shipped with AWAN servers includes
some of this documentation.
It is assumed that you are familiar with the HP NonStop Kernel operating system and
with basic data communications concepts.
Note that this guide does not provide a step-by-step detailed process of the entire
hardware installation and configuration. DNPG manuals that do provide step-by-step
installation and unpacking hardware instructions will be referred to when appropriate
and, when necessary, will be excerpted.
For information about accessing the correct Digital installation and server management
manual, see Documentation on page 1-25.
