Documentation
Mediatrix units are supplied with an exhaustive set of documentation.

Mediatrix user documentation is available at Mediatrix Documentation.

Several types of documents were created to clearly present the information you are looking for. Our
documentation includes:

• Release notes: Generated at each GA release, this document includes the known and solved
issues of the software. It also outlines the changes and the new features the release includes.
• Configuration notes: These documents are created to facilitate the configuration of a specific
use case. They address a configuration aspect we consider that most users will need to
perform. However, in some cases, a configuration note is created after receiving a question
from a customer. They provide standard step-by-step procedures detailing the values of
the parameters to use. They provide a means of validation and present some conceptual
information. The configuration notes are specifically created to guide the user through an
aspect of the configuration.
• Technical bulletins: These documents are created to facilitate the configuration of a specific
technical action, such as performing a firmware upgrade.
• Hardware installation guide: They provide the detailed procedure on how to safely and
adequately install the unit. It provides information on card installation, cable connections, and
how to access for the first time the Management interface.
• User guide: The user guide explains how to customize to your needs the configuration of
the unit. Although this document is task oriented, it provides conceptual information to
help the user understand the purpose and impact of each task. The User Guide will provide
information such as where and how TR-069 can be configured in the Management Interface,
how to set firewalls, or how to use the CLI to configure parameters that are not available in the
Management Interface.
• Reference guide: This is an exhaustive document created for advanced users. It includes a
description of all the parameters used by all the services of the Mediatrix units. You will find,
for example, scripts to configure a specific parameter, notification messages sent by a service,
or an action description used to create Rulesets. This document includes reference information
