A General on Customer
Documentation
Products, product–releases, versions and Customer
Documentation
A product is defined by the network hierarchical level at which it is used and by the whole
of performance and services for which it is meant.
A product evolves through successive product releases, which are the real products
marketed for their delivery at a certain release availability date. So, a product release
defines a set of hardware components and a software package which, as a whole, identify
the possible network applications and the equipment performance for which the specific
product release has been designed, engineered, and marketed.
In some cases, a product release has further development steps, named versions, that are
introduced to improve or add some functionality (mainly software) over to the previous
version, or for bug fixing purposes.
A product release has its own standard Customer Documentation, composed by one or
more documents.
A new version of a product release may or may not produce a change in the status of the
Customer Documentation set, as described in Section

Document supply to Customers

Documents are not automatically delivered with equipment with which they apply. The
number of documents per unit to be supplied must be decided at the contract level.
