Stinger® Administration Guide xix
About This Guide
This guide explains how to administer a Stinger unit and manage its operations. To
use this guide, you must have set up the Stinger system as described in the Getting
Started Guide for your Stinger unit and configured it for network connectivity as
described in the Stinger ATM Configuration Guide.
What is in this guide
Each chapter in this guide focuses on a particular aspect of Stinger unit
administration and operations. The chapters describe tools for system management,
network management, and SNMP agent management.
To perform many of the tasks in this manual, you must have administrative
permission on the Stinger unit. For instructions on logging into the Stinger unit with
administrative permissions, see “Logging into a Stinger unit” on page 1-2.
Note This manual describes the set of features for Stinger units running software
version TAOS 9.8-252.0. Some features might not be available with earlier versions
or specialty loads of the software.
Warning Before installing or operating your Stinger unit, be sure to read the safety
instructions in the Edge Access and Broadband Access Safety and Compliance Guide. For
information specific to your unit, see the “Safety-Related Electrical, Physical, and
Environmental Information” appendix in your unit’s Getting Started Guides.
What you should know
This guide attempts to provide enough information to enable an administrator who is
not an expert in a particular network technology to operate and troubleshoot a
Stinger unit. However, this guide does not provide a complete explanation of any
network management topic. For best results, when working with the following
capabilities on a Stinger unit, make sure that you have some applicable general
knowledge:
■Line configuration and testing
■Connection negotiation and authentication
■Connection cost management and accounting
■IP routing
■Network security

About This Guide
Documentation conventions
Following are all the special characters and typographical conventions used in this
manual:
Convention Meaning
Monospace text Represents text that appears on your computer’s screen, or that
could appear on your computer’s screen.
Boldface
monospace text
Represents characters that you enter exactly as shown (unless
the characters are also in italics—see Italics, below). If you
could enter the characters but are not specifically instructed to,
they do not appear in boldface.
Italics Represent variable information. Do not enter the words
themselves in the command. Enter the information they
represent. In ordinary text, italics are used for titles of
publications, for some terms that would otherwise be in
quotation marks, and to show emphasis.
[ ] Square brackets indicate an optional argument you might add
to a command. To include such an argument, type only the
information inside the brackets. Do not type the brackets unless
they appear in boldface.
|Separates command choices that are mutually exclusive.
>Points to the next level in the path to a parameter or menu
item. The item that follows the angle bracket is one of the
options that appear when you select the item that precedes the
angle bracket.
Key1+Key2 Represents a combination keystroke. To enter a combination
keystroke, press the first key and hold it down while you press
one or more other keys. Release all the keys at the same time.
(For example, Ctrl+H means hold down the Ctrl key and press
the H key.)
Press Enter Means press the Enter or Return key or its equivalent on your
computer.
Note
Introduces important additional information.
Caution
Warns that a failure to follow the recommended procedure
could result in loss of data or damage to equipment.
Warning
Warns that a failure to take appropriate safety precautions
could result in physical injury.
Warning
Warns of danger of electric shock.
