Re: Lan console connection

When you say "iSeries Access for Windows" do you also mean you have the OPS Console option loaded from that CD? It's what has the console client, which is more than the iSeries Access telnet..
Should be on one of the cd's with the system.

Subject: Lan console connection

I just received in a 8203 E4A. This is system came in with no software
loaded including the LIC.



I installed the I_BASE_1 CD in the drive and did a 1 D IPL.



The system appears to IPL to the "looking for Console" message.

I have an XP pc with iSeries access for windows loaded. I want to make this
PC the console temporarily until the network team gets their steps completed
so I can use a remote LAN console.



I have connected the PC to the T1 port on the system using a Ethernet cable.
In talking to IBM today, I was told to set the console code to E2 if I
remember correctly. I thought the console code should have be 02 for direct
connect console.



IBM was having me enter the IP address of what the iSeries will be after I
configure the Ethernet connection, into the TCPIP section of the local area
network properties. I explained to them I didn't think this was correct but
the EXPLAINED that it was. I was to use OPS console then to connect. Of
course no connection was ever made.



Now, what steps have to be completed in order to direct connect the PC as a
locally attached console?



I am about ready to pull out what hair I have left over this



Thanks
