This chapter describes:
· How this manual is organized.
· How to use this manual to get the information you need.
This manual is written primarily for system administrators. Information about how to use the A La Carte Menu and Security System is also included, but most ALC users will prefer to use the on-line help text to get the information they need.
This manual is divided into three parts:
Chapters 1 through 5 are directed to first time ALC users.
Chapters 6 through 8 give detailed descriptions of the ALC displays and commands.
Chapter 9 is for reference in the event that problems are encountered using ALC.
If you are familiar with ALC, or if you prefer to learn by doing, you can skip the early chapters, and use this manual and the on-line Help text as reference tools.
If you are new to ALC, the first chapters of this manual give you all the information you need to get started. We recommend that you quickly read chapters 2 through 5, and then refer to the remaining chapters as needed.
