v5r4 - Plug the old twinax device in - they never fail - hahahah!
Do you know the ip address assigned to that server ?
Is the LAN connected to a switch ?
If you plug the PC/Laptop into the network can you ping that address ?
Was the NIC plugged into a switch when you powered the system up ? If not
the interface may not have come up, in this case you could force the
system down from the control panel (Function 08 if I remember correctly)
and then power on again.

Subject: Connecting to V5R4 System
Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I'm trying to connect to my old 515 running v5r4. I thought it would be
easy, just use the LAN console.
I fired it up, connected the cat 5 cable from my PC to the LAN port and
verify the IP with ping.
But, when it asks for the user and PW I get:
MSGSSL004 - An error was encountered during the handshake phase.....
I couldn't find any info on this, and it never did this before when the
system was active ( years ago of course haha)
I tried connecting my PC's lan port to the other LAN ports on the system
to
try and get a normal 5250 session but I can't seem to get that to work...
no ips I have set up are pingable.
Does anyone have any "back door" ideas to get on this system? All I
really
want to do is clean it up. I have a feeling maybe my PC doesn't have old
SSL/TLS ciphers on it anymore that were used by the LAN console? Or could
this error be something else?
Thanks!
