Re : OP's Console on V5R2

[Adam.Driver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Jeffry,

We've had a similar experience, except we were using one laptop and cable
to switch between four partitions on an 825 (because the account manager
forgot to order all the equipment and we had to make do with an old laptop
borrowed from our PC support guys).

I used to be in the "Twinax will always work, why mess with it?" school of
thought, but I have to say I think I've become a convert to Ops Console.
Now we're trying to decide whether to go the whole hog with LAN console or
not. We'll see........

Thanks

subject: OP's Console on V5R2

I just installed Client Access V5R2 (iSeries Setup and Operations) on a
new PC which will be the Op's console for my new 810. I used the cable
from my 820's OP's console.
The new Installation Wizard is just great and much better than V5R1
access. It stepped through the complete process and the only thing you
needed the book for was the directory location for the 'fake' modem.
It connected to my 820 without a problem. I disconnected the Op's
console and I upgraded my V5R1 Op's console to V5R2, installed the
service pack, reconnected the cable from the 820 and it connected
without having to reconfigure anything (this isn't what Support Line
said last week, they said you had to do the configuration over again).
I needed to have this done before my V5R2 (from V5R1) upgrade this
weekend.
