Customer documentation on CD-ROM
In the following by 'CD-ROM' it is meant 'Customer Documentation on CD-ROM'
Contents, creation and production of a CD-ROM
In most cases, a CD-ROM contains in read-only eletronic format the documentation of one product-
release(-version) and for a certain language.
In some other cases, the same CD-ROM can contain the documentation of different product-release(-ver-
sion)s for a certain language.
As a general rule:
– CD-ROMs for Network Management products do not
 contain:
• the Installation Guides
• the documentation of system optional features that Customers could not buy from Alcatel-
Lucent together with the main applicative SW.
– CD-ROMs for Network Elements products do not
 contain: 
• the documentation of system optional features (e.g. System Installation Handbooks related to 
racks that Customers could not buy from Alcatel-Lucent together with the main equipment).
A CD-ROM is obtained collecting various handbooks and documents in .pdf format. Bookmarks and 
hyperlinks make the navigation easier. No additional information is added to each handbook, so that the 
documentation present in the CD-ROMs is exactly the same the Customer would receive on paper.
The files processed in this way are added to files/images for managing purpose and a master CD-ROM 
is recorded.
Suitable checks are made in order to have a virus-free product.
After a complete functional check, the CD-ROM image is electronically transferred to the archive of the 
Production Department, so that the CD-ROM can be produced and delivered to Customers.
Use of the CD-ROM
The CD-ROM can be used both in PC and Unix WS environments.
The CD-ROM starts automatically with autorun and hyperlinks from the opened “Index" document permit 
to visualize the .pdf handbooks
Other hyperlinks permit to get, from the Technical handbooks, the specific .pdf setting documents.
In order to open the .pdf documents Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 (minimum) must have been 
installed on the platform.
The CD-ROM doesn't contain the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The Customer is in charge of getting 
and installing it.
ReadMe info is present on the CD-ROM to this purpose.
Then the Customer is allowed to read the handbooks on the PC/WS screen, using the navigation and 
zooming tools included in the tool, and to print selected parts of the documentation through a local printer.
