Re: Operations Console/Remote Control Panel

We have been using C/A console for about two years.  We use PC anywhere to
get to our console for putting the system in a restricted state.

Subject:  Operations Console/Remote Control Panel


Has anyone configured and used the Operations Console with the Remote
Control Panel feature?  I'm particularly interested in a configuration with
a LCS (Local Controlling System) and a RCS (Remote Controlling System).
What hardware/software did you use?  With this config, can you do anything
remotely that you could do if you were physically at the AS400?

How about security concerns!!!????  The documentation I looked at showed
dialup modem connections between the LCS/RCS and that makes me nervous,
giving the world direct dialup to a console and the control panel on my
AS400 (John, any experience with this?).  Has anyone tried this using LAN
or leased line connections between the LCS/RCS (that would seem to me to be
much safer)?

TIA,
Glenn Birnbaum
