Each compressed zip file contains multiple files and an index directory that work together as a fully functioning online document, once downloaded and decompressed. To take advantage of the cross-file book search feature enabled in these documents, you must use Acrobat Reader 4.0 with Search. If you already have a version of Acrobat Reader that does not include search installed on your PC, you must first uninstall it. Download the Acrobat installation file appropriate for your operating system, then follow the installation instructions provided with the Reader to install it on your local drive.

USING THE DOCUMENTATION FILES
You can download entire sets of documentation for both the Signaling and Broadband Access products, or you can download individual books. Once you download and unzip the selected file, you have the documentation associated with the desired topic right on your own hard drive. Double click the masterdoc.pdf file if you downloaded the entire documentation set, or the docstart_xxx.pdf file if you downloaded a single book. The Masterdoc page provides links to all of the product pages available for the type of products you selected. The Docstart pages display the manuals associated with the selected topic and their top-level tables of contents. Selecting a chapter file opens the index associated with the topic, and you can use the hypertext and search features to navigate between files in the manuals.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the Masterdoc buttons at the bottom of each page work only when you download the entire documentation package, which includes the masterdoc.pdf file. The TOC buttons, also positioned on each page, take you to the detailed table of contents for the currently displayed book.

Intrafile and interfile hyperlinking allow you to go immediately to a cross-reference within the same chapter, a different chapter, or a different book. Hyperlinks are usually identified by blue underlined text. You simply click on the text to go to the cross-referenced destination. (Note: hyperlinking is also enabled in the tables of contents, but without blue underlines. In a table of contents, click on the desired entry.)

The Acrobat Reader search function allows you to perform a global text string search throughout all documents within a topic. To perform a search, click on the Search button located on the Acrobat Reader top toolbar (represented by the "binoculars and document" icon), and provide the term or phrase you want to find. The search function will provide a list of documents, along with the percentage of pertinence, that contain the designated text string. For further instructions on how to use the advanced features of Acrobat Search, refer to the Acrobat Reader Help document.
