AccessBuilders on the network will be identified by the TABMTOOL utility (IP
only).
When more than one AccessBuilder is installed on the network (IP or IPX),
record the MAC address of each unit (located on the rear panel) so you will
know which one you are configuring from TABM.
The Power indicator on the front panel will glow when the AccessBuilder
has been powered on.
If you have decided to configure the AccessBuilder locally using a console,
or wish to perform remote downloading of configuration or system
software, or wish to monitor the AccessBuilder, perform the following:

For Terminal Connection

Connect a terminal or a PC running terminal emulation (DTE) with a (user
supplied) straight through cable to the AccessBuilder's console port (DCE).
Default settings are 9600 Baudrate, 8 bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
After powering up the AccessBuilder, power-up tests and the 3Com
copyright notice should appear on the screen.
If you are not attached to a NetWare LAN right now (i.e., you are on an IP
network), you may see the following message "The IPX Network for
LocalPath ethernet couldn't be learned", this is due to AccessBuilder's
autoconfiguration function in a NetWare environment: you can ignore this
message.
Press the <CR> key once or twice to produce the login prompt. If the login
prompt fails to display, check the following:
Proper power service by confirming that the power light on the front of
the AccessBuilder unit is on.
Proper cabling configurations.
Proper terminal parameters.
If you still cannot obtain the login prompt, call your AccessBuilder supplier
or 3Com for technical assistance.
