QUICK START
The SFVRA Connection Manager User's Guide provides detailed information for installing,
configuring, and using the SFVRA Connection Manager (SFVRA-CONN). SFVRA-CONN
communicates in real time with the module to provide centralized, policy-based connection
management for remote and central site users.
The SFVRA-CFG and SFVRA-CONN Release Notes provide release information and highlights. The
Release Notes are provided in a file that can be accessed under the applications' Help menus.

The primary configuration utility included for configuring your module is SFVRA-CFG. The
SmartSwitch Remote Access Module documentation was written with SFVRA-CFG in mind. This
configuration utility will be sufficient for most configurations, however, if you will be setting up a
complex configuration, you may need to use CFGEDIT, a more comprehensive configuration
utility. Note that once you use CFGEDIT, you will be unable to go back to using SFVRA-CFG
(except under one special circumstance — if you configure IP filters using CFGEDIT and you make
no other changes except for the IP filter configuration, you can then go back to SFVRA-CFG).
The following is a list of some of the major features that cannot be configured through SFVRA-CFG:
• AppleTalk Remote LAN port
• Bridge filters
• DHCP
• File attributes configuration
• Frame Relay
• IP filters
• IPX static routes and services
• Off-node authentication databases
• TFTP configuration
• X.25
If you will be using any of the above features, you will need to use CFGEDIT to configure your
module. In result, you will need to refer to supplemental user documentation provided on the
9W006 &9W007 Remote Access Module CD-ROM for configuration, verification, and diagnosis
instructions (and any other activities that use SFVRA-CFG). This documentation is the
CyberSWITCH Central Site User Documentation. Note that although the supplemental
documentation is for a different Cabletron product, the CFGEDIT instructions included can be
applied to the SmartSwitch Remote Access Module. This documentation includes:
The CyberSWITCH Central Quick Start provides abbreviated installation and configuration
instructions for experienced users. Specific instructions for setting up various types of remote
devices are also included.
The CyberSWITCH Central Site User's Guide provides information to install and configure your
system. It also provides information you may need to refer to keep your system running efficiently
after it is up and running. For example, it provides a listing of system messages. Many other
subjects are covered, including routine maintenance, hardware information, system verification,
and problem diagnosis.
The Example Networks Guide includes several example networks, beginning with a simple network,
and progressing to more complex networks. These example network chapters provide
configuration instructions that you may find helpful in configuring your own similar network.
