+This project is intended for operators that want to configure the RAN Network Functions (NF), i.e., O-DU, O-CU, O-RU, and the Near RT-RIC over the O1 (NETCONF/RESTCONF) interface.
+
+Each of the NFs advertise their own capabilities over a NETCONF session that is established between the SMO and each of the NFs. Thereafter the NETCONF session is used to configure and manage each of the NFs.
+
+This user guide assumes that Installation Guide has been followed to install the necessary hardware and software.
