The load server downloads a software image to the MAXserver, over the
network, whenever the unit is powered on or re-initialized. By default, the
unit requests software from each type of load server, until a server responds
with a software load offer.
If you need to install software on a network load server, refer to the Software
Installation Guide for the type of load server you plan to use.
Configuration Options
There are two Graphical User Interface configuration utilities that you can
use instead of using the Access Server Configuration Menu or the Command
Line interface to configure the MAXserver. These utilities simplify the task
of configuring MAXservers - FocalPoint and ControlPoint.
About FocalPoint
FocalPoint for Access Servers is a Windows-based configuration utility with
a point-and-click graphical interface (GUI) designed to step you through the
process of configuring MAXservers.
FocalPoint guides you through the logical progression of setup choices
complete with default settings and context-sensitive online help.Using
FocalPoint to configure the MAXserver eliminates the need to learn a
complex command line interface.

documentation CD with all Network 3000, Route Runners, MAXserver, and
720 Series Access Server modules for the Network 9000. The latest versions
of FocalPoint software are also available from the NBase-Xyplex Web Site.
