Figure 3-7   AccessBuilder Manager Program Group (TABMTOOL not in IPX)
The AccessBuilder Manager program group contains three icons:
TABM Starts the AccessBuilder Manager application.
TABMTOOL (IP Only) Starts the AccessBuilder Manager Tool 
(TABMTOOL) application and identifies newly installed AccessBuilders 
so they can be given a network identity. This application is started 
automatically when you run the TABM application, so you do not 
need to start it manually. 
TABMTOOL runs in the background “listening” for BootP requests 
issued by a newly started AccessBuilder. Upon “hearing” a BootP 
request from an AccessBuilder, (on the same network segment or 
across a router) TABMTOOL displays a dialog box enabling the new 
AccessBuilder to be assigned a network IP address and secured with 
a unique Superuser 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.
