Run the Boot Server Utility

You can run either the DOS-based utility or the Windows-based
BOOTP utility, but not both.
If you have BOOTP enabled and the message "BOOTP response not
received" appears, check the cabling connections and the BOOTP
server system.
If you're using then invoke this
this platform executable
DOS-based DTLBOOTD.EXE
Windows DTLBOOTW.EXE
Both utilities are located in the C:\ABIC\BIN directory and use the
information contained in the BOOTPTAB file.
Be sure to place the BOOTPTAB file in the directory from which you
are running the BOOTP utility. If this file is not found in that directory,
the utility will try to find the file in the directory specified by the
environment variable ABIC_CONFIG.

1. At the DOS prompt, type:

configfile name of the boot server configuration file to use. The default
