This section discusses the objectives, audience, conventions, and organization of the <Emphasis>Cisco 1750 Router Voice-over-IP Configuration Guide and provides general information about Cisco IOS software documentation.
Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more up to date than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription. You can also access Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.
This guide describes the tasks and commands necessary to configure Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and contains corresponding command-reference information for VoIP.
This publication is intended primarily for users who configure and maintain routers, but are not necessarily familiar with tasks, the relationship between tasks, or the commands necessary to perform particular tasks to configure VoIP. In addition, this publication is intended for users with some familiarity with IP and telephony networks.
In addition to the information provided in this publication, you might need to refer to the Cisco IOS documentation set. The Cisco IOS software documentation is divided into nine modules and two master indexes. (See Figure 1.) Each module consists of two books: a configuration guide and a corresponding command reference. Chapters in a configuration guide describe protocols, configuration tasks, and Cisco IOS software functionality and contain comprehensive configuration examples. Chapters in a command reference provide complete command syntax information. Each configuration guide can be used in conjunction with its corresponding command reference.
Two master indexes provide indexing information for the Cisco IOS software documentation set: an index for the configuration guides and an index for the command references. In addition, individual books contain a book-specific index.
