About this Guide
This preface describes who should read the Cisco SCE8000 Installation and Configuration Guide, how
it is organized, and its document conventions.
This guide is for the networking or computer technician responsible for installing and configuring the
SCE8000 platform on-site. To use this publication, you should be familiar with telecommunications
equipment and installation procedures, as well as electronic circuitry and wiring practices. You should
also have experience as an electronic or electromechanical technician.
This installation guide explains the initial hardware installation and basic configuration procedures for
the SCE8000. It contains procedures for unpacking and installing the device and performing basic
configuration via the setup wizard. After completing the installation and basic configuration procedures
covered in this guide, you will then use the appropriate companion publications to more completely
configure your system.
This guide contains instructions on how to install and run the SCE8000 platform. This guide assumes a
basic familiarity with telecommunications equipment and installation procedures.
