RE: Setup an alternate console

Bill Hi
        I'll stick my foot in my mouth here, and just jump in.
        CA has a function called the Operations console, but CA runs on TCP/IP, 
which
        is not what your boss was referring to.
        When TCP/IP goes down, (yes , that day will happen), you'll need to, as 
system operator
        or security officer log onto the /400.
        I use an Sync SDLC connection with a modem (IBM 7855) , to a remote 
/400, at 9600       baud, and it works quite well.
        You must of course configure the controllers at that host.
Hope this is of some help, the only problem that might occur, is having the 
phone line down at the same time as TCP/IP

Subject: Setup an alternate console


Hi,
Has anyone successfully set up an alternate console on a system using a
twinax console (terminal)?

My boss wants to set up a PC as an alternate console, purpose being remote
access to the AS400 when in restricted state or in case of a system problem
causing TCP/IP to be down.  I don't know how this can be done.

Your help is appreciated.

TIA
