RE: Ethernet vary off/on - no twinax

You can enter an Internet Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway address on both
the Console side and the i side.

Make sure you go into DST and setup a few Service tools Console devices. I
ALWAYS create QCONSOLE2 & QCONSOLE3 just in case someone screws things up
with the PC later on. Believe me, this has saved my butt a few times.

(Serial) attached connection, I usually just say Lan Console when I am
referring to Operations Console Lan Attached. If I was IBM, I could
probably get away with getting this down to one letter ;)

IBM has issued a statement of direction that the Serial Direct attached

will

no longer be supported after the release following V6R1. Another reason,
why we are getting all our customers to go to Lan Attached.

You are correct, they both use PC Support, ops I mean Client Access, ops
iSeries Access, ....... is the name now i Access? Ha ha ha....

Sorry for the confusion in my previous post with the names.

Thanks for the clarification.

I hope the Lan attached connection is routable. In other words, can you
configure this nic to use a specified IP & gateway address ?
If so, it should function as a remote console.
