Documentation Guide

About this Guide

This guide summarizes the documentation that is available for Release 11.5(1) of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service, including 11.5(1)SU releases.

SU Releases

For SU releases, use these guidelines to determine which document to use:

  • If an SU document version exists that matches the specific SU release that you are running, use that SU document rather than the baseline 11.5(1) version as the document contains updated information that was not in the 11.5(1) baseline.

  • If the document was republished for SU releases, but not the specific SU that you are running, use the latest version of the document where the version is less than, or equal to, the version that you are running. For example, if you are running 11.5(1)SU2, you can use documents from 11.5(1), 11.5(1)SU1 or 11.5(1)SU2 can be used (use the latest version), but you cannot use documents from 11.5(1)SU3 or higher as those documents may contain features that are not included in your release.

  • If no SU version of the document exists, use the 11.5(1) baseline version.
