III How this Document is Organized
This preface provides an overview of the supported devices and the documentation sections that are relevant
to these devices. Using this preface, the customer should be able to see where the device fits within the ATI
iMG portfolio - and at a high level - how it is different from the other members of the family. This Preface has
four main subsections:
1. A description of the different types of devices, grouped by Network Interface Technology (ADSL, Active
Fiber, EPON, Modular).
2. A detailed list of the individual models supported - including the type of Network Interface, Number of
Ethernet LAN interfaces and the number and type of Telephony ports.
3. A list of functional groupings of devices that describes the unique traits of this set of devices - exclusive of
network interfaces.
4. A list of the different sections within the document and based on the above defined grouping - an indication
of which sections apply.
The intent of the functional groupings is to allow the customers to use the appropriate group to determine
which sections within the document apply to that set of devices, as well as identify what specific differences
there may be between the different groupings when discussing a specific topic - such as File System structure or
Switch functionality.
