Re: Configuring Brand New ISeries ASMI / HMC

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well now, I *AM* DrFranken and even I haven't been able to merge a POWER 
and an iSeries machine yet. Kudos for that accomplishment! :-)

Feeding that name into the "Universal Translator" tells me you have a 
new Power 720 server with IBM i as the operating system.

Going from memory as I'm out of town but I don't believe the Neoware 
console is supported on POWER7 hardware.

For LAN Console that IS Supported and I believe that gets connecterated 
to the T1 port but has to be enabled with the F65-F21 seqence.  See this 
page:
