Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Configuration Guide
New and Changed Information
For Cisco IOS Release 12.2, two previous Release 12.1 guides, Cisco IOS Dial Services Configuration
Guide: Terminal Services and Cisco IOS Dial Services Configuration Guide: Network Services, have
been renamed and reorganized into a single book: Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Configuration Guide.
See Figure 1 for a list of the contents.
For Cisco IOS Release 12.2, the Release 12.1 Cisco IOS Dial Services Command Reference has been
renamed Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Command Reference.
The Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Terminal Services Command
Reference were extracted from the 12.1 release of the Cisco IOS Dial Services Configuration Guide:
Terminal Services and Cisco IOS Dial Services Command Reference, and placed in separate books not
included in this set.
Document Conventions
Within Cisco IOS software documentation, the term router is generally used to refer to a variety of Cisco
products (for example, routers, access servers, and switches). Routers, access servers, and other
networking devices that support Cisco IOS software are shown interchangeably within examples. These
products are used only for illustrative purposes; that is, an example that shows one product does not
necessarily indicate that other products are not supported.
The Cisco IOS documentation set uses the following conventions:
Command syntax descriptions use the following conventions:
Convention Description
^ or Ctrl The ^ and Ctrl symbols represent the Control key. For example, the key combination ^D or Ctrl-D
means hold down the Control key while you press the D key. Keys are indicated in capital letters but
are not case sensitive.
string A string is a nonquoted set of characters shown in italics. For example, when setting an SNMP
community string to public, do not use quotation marks around the string or the string will include the
quotation marks.
Convention Description
boldface Boldface text indicates commands and keywords that you enter literally as shown.
italics Italic text indicates arguments for which you supply values.
[x] Square brackets enclose an optional element (keyword or argument).
| A vertical line indicates a choice within an optional or required set of keywords or arguments.
[x | y] Square brackets enclosing keywords or arguments separated by a vertical line indicate an optional
choice.
{x | y} Braces enclosing keywords or arguments separated by a vertical line indicate a required choice.
