IP Networks

When you run the TABM application (in a window or minimized as an icon),
it launches TABMTOOL to "listen" in the background for configuration
requests from new AccessBuilder servers (that is, servers that have not yet
been configured). When you connect such a server to the network and
power it up, the server sends configuration requests (BootP requests) to the
network which are intercepted by the TABMTOOL.
Make sure the AccessBuilder is powered on after TABM is running. If TABM
is launched after the AccessBuilder has been power on, the AccessBuilder's
BootP request will be missed.
Upon receiving a request for configuration parameters, the TABMTOOL
utility displays the AccessBuilder Configuration Parameters dialog box. Use
this dialog box to provide the following basic configuration parameters:
IP address of the AccessBuilder
IP address of the system running the TABM application
Subnet mask for the AccessBuilder
Default gateway for the AccessBuilder (optional)
Super user password

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 View window.
Basically, an AccessBuilder only needs to be discovered in an IPX network in
order to proceed with it's configuration. Once this occurs, you are ready to
perform either the Basic, or Guided Configuration.
Once the AccessBuilder has been discovered and you have entered the
initial configuration parameters itemized above and click the OK button, this
