There are many sources of information about JANET, but it can take time to access specific details. This manual has been produced to place all essential material in one document. It is aimed at systems administrators and technical contacts at JANET sites. It is designed to work on a number of different levels and contains both non-technical and technical details.

Technical material for the manual has been taken from a number of sources, and thanks must go to the JISC RSCs who have helped to shape the contents list and contributed text. If recipients of this manual would like to contribute further technical material that may be of use to other sites, please contact the JANET Service Desk.

Most sections of this manual provide an introduction to a topic and in some cases more detailed information, plus pointers to other reference sources. The appendices contain either specific examples of documents such as a completed licence application form or further technical information.

JANET(UK) manages the operation and development of JANET, the United Kingdom's education and research network on behalf of the combined UK Further and Higher Education Funding Councils represented by JISC (the Joint Information Systems Committee).
