iSeries fails on C6005008 using Operations Console -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Everyone

I am having a frustrating time with my iSeries at the moment, i520 runningV5R3. I need to run Operations Console on it so that I can document a fullOS install and the best way for me is via Ops Console so I can take screenprints from the console session.

The problem I am having is that that I keep getting an A6005008 error. TheModem connects as I get a connection message in my task bar, but I do notget any DST signon or 5250 sessions sessions starting.

I have checked that the machine is set to Operations Console using the frontpanel procedures (You know, the 65, 21, 11 repeat until you get theOperations Console Code) as the machine previously was set to TwinAx, butprevious to this I was running Ops Console with a 2793 as the Console cardin slot 3.

I am still using a 2793 as the card (I have also tried a 4745) and an 0367cable going to Com1 (the only com port I have) on my PC.

I have the V5R3 version of iSeries Access installed, and also service packlevel SI23492

My PC is running XP service pack 2, and the windows firewall is switchedoff.


The machine is booting from D M with the V5R3 I_BASE_01 cd installed.

If I take out the 2793 and put in a 2746 it sits at C6004031 but with a 21on the front panel it goes to the DST prompt no problem, but, once the SLICis installed and I go to installing the Operating System the screen goesagain.

I think I have covered everything, but just to reiterate my problem, myiSeries fails on C6005008 during Operations Console and I am feeling alittle low as I really need it up at the moment

All help. No matter how trivial you may think it is, is, as always, greatlyappreciated.


Thanks in advance all you geniuses

Martin
