Chapter 1 - How To Use This Manual
CHAPTER 1 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Three Cyclades manuals are related to the PR4000.
1 The Quick Installation Manual -- provided with the router,
2 The Installation Manual -- available electronically on the Cyclades web site,
3 The CyROS Reference Guide -- also available electronically on the Cyclades web site.
CyROS stands for the Cyclades Routing Operating System. It is the operating system for all Cyclades Power
Routers (PR1000, PR2000, PR3000, and PR4000). The CyROS Reference Guide contains complete information
about the features and configuration of all products in the PR line.
CyROS is constantly evolving, and the menus in this manual might be slightly different from the menus in the
router. The latest version of all three manuals (and the latest version of CyROS) can be downloaded from Cyclades’
web site. All manuals indicate on the second page the manual version and the corresponding version of CyROS.
The first three chapters of this manual should be read in the order written, with exceptions given in the text. The
most appropriate example in Chapter 4 should then be read, with chapters 5 through 14 providing complementary
information.
