Step-by-Step Guides
===================

The step-by-step guides are meant to get you started quickly. They provide 
information on how to configure the product in common scenarios. Each section 
includes the information necessary to complete a specific task.


The information is presented in an easy to follow "step by step" way (hence the 
name). Each section begins with the intended result and then explains the steps 
to achieve it in the correct order. They are documented together with 
hardcopies, so they should be easy to follow. For best results, please be sure 
to follow the exact order of the steps.


The step-by-step guides do eventually not include all information that might be 
relevant to the situation. Please use your own judgment if the scenario 
described sufficiently matches your need.


In the step-by-step guides, we assume the product is already successfully 
installed but no configuration has been done. If it is not installed, please do 
so first.


All step-by-step guides assume that the client is running. This is kind of a 
step 0 for all the guides.
