About the Information System Window

The information system window is laid out so that you can navigate easily between topic areas, drill down to get detailed information, and directly access product and platform documentation, without ever losing your place or having to cope with a complex hierarchy of windows.

For many illustrations you can point to items in the illustration to see a popup description of the item. (Try this with the graphic below.)

Tabs for global navigation between processes. Click a tab to go to the home page for that tab. You are shown an overview of the process and the tasks and concepts covered. "You Are Here" context indicator shows you where you are in a particular tab. Table of contents (TOC) for navigation within a process. Content area.

Link to a topic in the content area. Link to a topic in a new browser window offset from the current window.

Main heading in a TOC, such as "Finding Your Solution". If the heading is blue, it is a link that goes to a topic in the content area. If it is black, it is unlinked and simply a container heading for linked subtopics.    

Types of Topics

You can tell what type of topic a link is from its name:

  • "Doing" topics, such as "Installing the Cisco EGW", are task topics, and provide instructions for doing something.
  • "Overview" topics are concepts to help you understand and plan your deployment and carry out tasks knowledgeably.

Where Information Is Located

Cisco EGW 2200 applications encompass a range of products and technologies, and their documentation encompasses information that may reside in several locations:

  • This information system includes solution overviews and high-level process and procedure information specific to Cisco EGW 2200 applications.
  • Product and technology overviews, detailed requirements, task details, and other more generic topics are located outside this information system. These topics have the appearance of standard Cisco documentation with which you may already be familiar. Links to these topics appear with a , such as "Installing the Cisco EGW 2200". This means that clicking the link opens the topic in a new, secondary browser window offset from the current window, rather than replacing the current topic in the content area of the current window.

About the Secondary Browser Window

When a topic like "Installing the Cisco EGW 2200" opens in a new, secondary browser window, that window stays open until you close it. (Click the Close button or choose File > Close.) If the window is open when you click another > link, the new topic replaces the current one.

Tips on Using This System

  • Use the tabs to navigate between major process areas.
  • Use the left navigation menu to navigate to major topics in a process.
  • In a secondary popup window:
    • When you are done with the window, click the Close button to close it. (It does not close automatically.)
    • You can go back to a previous topic by right-clicking and choosing Back.
    • You can view normal browser toolbars, the address bar, and similar items using commands on the View menu.
