Re: New Access Client as a system console

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use ACS as my console...

Are you sure you're currently using CA LAN Console?  There were some other
options back in the day...

Did you follow the docs?  What part "doesn't work"?

For IBM i systems that already have a LAN console configuration and are
already in your network infrastructure, the following steps may be used to
find existing console configurations:

   1. Start IBM i Access Client Solutions on your PC.
   2. On the main panel, click System Configurations.
   3. From System Configurations, click the Locate Console... button.
   4. On the IBM i Locator panel, update the Near field to an IP address in
   the range you want to search.
   5. Click the Search button to find LAN consoles in the specified range.
   6. Click the displayed IP address to select it, then click on the
   Console button to connect a 5250 console.
   7. A panel will appear asking for Service Tools credentials.
   8. Upon entering valid credentials, a 5250 console will be displayed.
