General Information
This section addresses some general configuration considerations.
It is assumed that you will want to configure SNAX/APC using SCF, although SCF is
not your only option. It is also possible to use the Subsystem Programmatic Interface
(SPI) to create custom programs as part of a Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
solution to configuration and control. SPI is not covered in this manual: please refer to
the SNAX/APC Management Programming Manual for further information.
