If you require other Web Portal information refer to [[Web_Portal_Tutorial_Guide_v2.3|Web Portal Tutorial Guide v2.3]].
 Please note that most of the information panels of the Web Portal provide you with configuration and status information. All the Web Portal articles of this page are designed to show you how to configure your Tmedia or Tdev system; therefore, they do not describe how to navigate and interpret system status. To learn about system status information, refer to [[Web_Portal_Tutorial_Guide_v2.4#Status Menus|Interpreting Status Menus]].
 Finally, it is recommended that you follow the order of the tasks listed on this page to successfully configure SIGTRAN for a Tmedia or Tdev system.
 == Before you begin ==
 This article assumes that the Tmedia or Tdev devices are installed as described in their Quick Reference Guides and that communication has been established with the control network.
-(Note: The TMG3200 is shipped with the Tmedia Web Portal preinstalled, while the TMP6400 requires that Toolpack be installed as described in the [http://download.distribution.telcobridges.com/documentation/TMP6400_Installation_Guide.pdf TMP6400 Installation Guide].)
