1.1 Who Should Use This Manual
This manual is for system administrators responsible for installing, configuring, deploying and

NG), and for experienced users. This manual

• Installation, operation and maintenance of network and asynchronous communication hardware,
including serial ports, modems and device adapters

based, the advantage of eLux NG is that no significant knowledge of Linux is
needed for either the administrator or the end user.
