GETTING STARTED
This section is designed to help you to quickly perform the installation
of an AccessBuilder 4000 network remote access server. Once you have
planned your installation and set up the hardware, you are then ready
to install and launch the Transcend AccessBuilder Manager (TABM)
configuration utility. From there, you’ll configure your AccessBuilder
using TABM’s on-line help information as required to perform specific
configuration items.
Before the Transcend
AccessBuilder Manager configuration utility can
be used, the following condition must be true:
IP Networks: Your third-party TCP/IP stack must be installed and you
can ping a known host on the network.
IPX Networks: Your NetWare Windows client software must be
installed and you can attach to a NetWare server. A NetWare server
must also reside on the network to which the AccessBuilder is
attached.
AccessBuilder
Configuration:
Windows or
Command Line UI
Nearly all AccessBuilder configuration can be performed using the
Transcend AccessBuilder Manager (TABM) configuration utility in a
Windows environment. There are, however, situations where it is
necessary to use the AccessBuilder’s command line interface to perform
specialized configurations. These situations include:
■ When a Windows platform with a third-party TCP/IP stack (IP
networks) or NetWare Client is not available on the network to
which the AccessBuilder is attached
■ When it is more convenient to use a local console on the
AccessBuilder’s asynchronous port
■ When using telnet (IP networks) to configure the AccessBuilder
■ When configuring bridging filters (refer to the Release Notes for any
other special circumstances)
