RE: The joy of ops console = no joy...

Charly,

AFAIK, if you are using that 97H7557 cable then you are not talking IP, you
are talking async between RAS on the PC and a serial port on the 400. Make
sure you have the cable connected to the left-hand connector of the card in
the second slot from the bottom.

Do a B M IPL - I hope LIC is already installed. Otherwise I don't know what
you do.

At the point where you get SRC A600 5001, start the Ops Console pgm on the
PC and configure your connection. Tell it you want to use a Direct Cable
connection and which PC com port it is connected to. On CA V5R1, it may ask
you about configuring a modem. Even though you don't want a modem, you DO
have to go through that part of the process to make it work. The "modem" it
installs is actually a direct cable connection. I don't remember it being
this way in earlier releases.

I am still trying to make this ops console thing work...

A model 150 - with an unknown operating system.  It _might_ be at V4R4, but
I don't really know.  It might have been as long ago as 1999 that this
system was functioning.  I _think_ I know the IP address of the ops console.
  It did work at one time.  With an ops console.  Then stopped working.  I
_think_ I know an all-powerful profile and password that is not QSECOFR.
The ops console cable is part number 97H7557.  I have tried V5R1 CA Express
on the console (with and without the "iSeries Ops Console Update"
SK3t-4114-01).  No joy...  I have read all the "setup guides" and run
various flavors of "EZ" setup.  No joy...

I have seen various messages that I interpret as "no console" messages.
Like A600 5001.  I have tried a D M ipl to reload the operating system.  No
joy...

Most recently I got an SRC that I have never seen before - 0000 2222.

Anyone know what 0000 2222 might mean?  And does anyone have any suggestions
on the best way to proceed?  Other than buy a new 270?

Thanks a bunch,
