Autodiscovery
password. The icon is included in the program group so that you will
recognize it when it appears on the screen during an TABM session.
TABM Help Launches Windows help for the TABM application. You can
also launch Windows help from the TABM application from the Help
menu or by pressing the F1 key.
The TABM application is an easy-to-use, graphical environment for
configuring and monitoring AccessBuilder servers that are reachable from
your network.
In addition to TABMTOOL listening for new AccessBuilder BootP requests, an
autodiscovery facility is included. This facility issues a proprietary UDP
request to discover (previously configured) AccessBuilders on the same
network segment as the TABM workstation. This request occurs
automatically when TABM is launched, or when the Autodiscover icon is
clicked while TABM is running.
A previously configured AccessBuilder residing on the opposite side of a
router on the same network segment as the TABM management station
cannot be discovered by TABM because the router cannot bridge TABM's
special UDP requests. In this case the IP address of the target AccessBuilder
must be manually entered into TABM.
IP Networks
New servers that are connected to the network send configuration
requests (BootP requests) to the TABMTOOL application.
Upon receiving such a request, the application automatically displays a
dialog box so you can enter the required information. After you enter the
required information, the application (TABM) adds the new server to the All
Servers List, which is described in the next section.
IPX Networks
In IPX networks, the AccessBuilder Manager can auto discover the
AccessBuilders on the LAN without knowing the IPX address of the
management workstation on which it is running. All servers, including those
on different subnets that respond are added to the All Servers List, which is
described in the next section.
