This manual contains detailed reference information, a list of tasks that you can 
perform, a collection of procedures for performing the tasks, and reader aids such as 
menu maps. 
Use the material in Chapters I through 4 for detailed inquiry into the installation 
and configuration of Unified TCP/IP in a Centigram Series 6 Communications 
Server. I These chapters discuss how components are related, elaborates on concepts, 
give operational details, and contain all%ecessary tables and figures about 
configuration. Use the Centigram Series G Installation and Service Manual 
appropriate for your platform for an actual server installation and the VaiceMemo 
Reference and Conjguration Manual for VoiceMemo software configuration. 
Task lists follow Reference chapters that include procedures. Use the task list, 
starting with a principal task (shown in boldface), to install and configure Unified 
TCPAP. Each task listed is described in more detail in a procedure. The task list is 
alphabetized, which helps most readers find the desired task (and procedure) quickly. 
No particular sequence of tasks is implied. The following example shows how a task 
list is organized:
