NTRODUCTION

This chapter provides a brief introduction to the AccessBuilder 4000

system. Unpacking instructions are also provided.

General

The AccessBuilder 4000 series family are RISC-based multiprotocol,

multiport networking devices offering a simple and cost-effective

solution for remote users to access the corporate network for data

transmission or retrieval using the Public Switched Telephone Network

(PSTN), or the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN).

The system is designed for individual-to-LAN operation, which supports

situations where Macintosh, PC, and workstation users need to access

their corporate network from home or another remote location. The

AccessBuilder 4000 can also be used to connect two distant/remote

LANs over the PSTN, ISDN, or leased line facilities.

NTRODUCTION

The AccessBuilder 4000 is designed for enterprise organizations having

remote LAN access requirements. It is well-suited for situations where

up to sixteen analog phone lines or up to eight ISDN lines (one line

supports two B channels providing up to 16 concurrent ISDN

connections) are required to support remote users who may include

business travellers or telecommuters.

The AccessBuilder 4000 is capable of routing IP and IPX protocols,

while protocols supported in the bridging mode include:

■

TCP/IP

■

IPX

■

AppleTalk Remote Access

■

NetBeui

■

DECNet

■

Banyan Vines

■DECNet

■XNS

The AccessBuilder 4000 can be conﬁgured for individual-to-LAN,

LAN-to-LAN operation, or both depending on your needs. Figure 1-1

shows the two different conﬁguration options.

Conﬁguration Speciﬁc conﬁgurations are easily accomplished using 3Com’s easy to

use TranscendAccessBuilder Manager (TABM), a Windows-based

graphical user interface conﬁguration utility. TABM features a detailed

graphic depiction of the hardware conﬁguration of your selected

AccessBuilder, which serves as a navigational roadmap of AccessBuilder

functions. Built into TABM is a comprehensive on-line help system

providing in-depth context-sensitive help on demand. A convenient

“cue card” facility is also provided to display procedural information in

a separate window. TABM also includes a tool that automatically

discovers AccessBuilders on your network.

Conﬁguration can also be performed using the AccessBuilder 4000’s

command line interface from either a locally connected terminal or over

the network via telnet for those more comfortable with a

DOS/UNIX-like command structure (requires optional support

documentation).
