B-2 APPENDIX B: REMOTE SOFTWARE UP/DOWNLOADING PROCEDURES
TABM This method (preferred) uses TABM to perform the desired
upload/download function over an IP network (requires a TFTP server to
be available -- normally specified as part of the TABM installation
procedure). You must have TABM installed on your workstation and can
see the target AccessBuilder on the All Servers View list. You will also
need to know the password for the target AccessBuilder.
Figure B-1 Remote Download/Upload Using TABM
TABM Procedures Before starting TABM on your workstation, be sure the files you plan to
download into the remote AccessBuilder (image or configuration) are
loaded on the TFTP server. These files are provided on one of the TABM
distribution diskettes. Copy the files ntksrvr.cde, ntksrvr.hd0,
ntksrvr.hd1, and ntksrvr.hd2 to the TFTP host’s directory.
CAUTION: Whenever an image or configuration file download transfer
occurs, the remote AccessBuilder suspends any user session in progress
and automatically resets upon completion, thus disconnecting any
active users. For this reason, maintenance downloads should be
announced to the system users well in advance of the event, and
scheduled at a time that minimizes network disruption.
