Did you know that you can have more than one device be your Lan Console? I
strongly recommend loading it on more than one PC. This way if one dies,
you can use the other. Or, if you're a two person IT shop, load it on
both you and your coworker's laptop.
Granted, with HMC, it's been awhile since I've used Lan Console.

Subject: Replacing a LAN console
Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I used the wrong term last week. It was NOT an OPS console. It is LAN
console.
After getting the thing to work last week, I come in this morning to
see that the thing had died. I don't know why it needed to be
rebooted, but Windows had a problem finding a DLL. Many reboots
later, I saw that different pieces were mysteriously "missing".
For the moment, it is working. It is an MPC. Looks like a bloated
LCD display, but it is computer built into a monitor. I tried to get
into BIOS setting, with intent of running SpinRite. I believe I will
pass on that.
Boss wants it replaced, and there is a much newer computer available.
Point of this post, if somebody reading this has not given up, is
confusion I have. After I deleted the LAN configuration from the pc,
which Windows had no problem doing, I built a new console , per
request from IBM. Initially, Windows would not allow the new
configuration to be stored. Had no issue with me deleting a
configuration. Seems odd. But, anyway, new configuratio was finally
stored. Console would not connect to the i. But, this time, an error
popped up which Tony knew how to fix. It involved going to the i
front panel and entering a number of codes. I can't remember what
they were. Seem to remember one sequence being repeated maybe eight
times.
Ok, during start of the current LAN console, there is a point where
the option to take control is presented.
My issue is what the heck was I clearing on the i and is that a factor
in replacing the console computer?
