RE: Getting LAN Console up, was Re: Is there such a thing as a Twinax controller for an E4A?

James:

Look in the AcsConfig.properties file. Mine is located in C:\Users\Public\IBM\ClientSolutions (yours may be in a direct users directory depending on which installation you used.

Find the section that says "Component Customization" That should explain how to turn on those missing functions (in your case I would not have any restrictions)

Then see:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/lan-console-set-and-installation-using-default-ip-address

or

This is really a reason to call IBM support - iACS is current software, so they should help you.

Now as to "modules" - there is only 1, the acsbundle.jar file - you should look for the acsconfig.properties file - there are "exclude" and "include" items in there, just comment out anything that limits what you can see - now you DO want some limits for the general user community - but that is not you, right?

Open the old CA Console configuration screens on the old WinXP box,

at XP, then type it into iACS) the config. parameters for setting up

iACS also supports that nice little virtual control front panel ... ;-)

It looks like I don't actually have all the iACS modules I need
installed. (To be fair, I was installing it in an attempt to connect
it, as a user, to a customer box; attempting to connect to our own
hardware was an afterthought.) And there may be other problems.

Contrary to the picture I was sent last Thursday, the left pane of my
iACS main window shows only

General

Navigator for i
SSH Terminal

Console

Virtual Control Panel
Hardware Management Interface 1

Management

System Configurations
HMC Probe Utility

Conspicuously absent are General/5250 Emulator and Console/5250
Console. And of course, General/SSH Terminal is of no use to me,
connecting to a V6 box.

The good news is that with the appropriate IP address plugged into
"Service Host Name" on the "Console" tab, the "Verify Connection"
button produces

Verifying connection to port 3001 service...Success! using port
number 3001
Verifying connection to port 2300 service...Success! using port
number 2300
Verifying connection to port 3002 service...Success! using port
number 3002
Verifying connection to port 2323 service...Success! using port
number 2323

The bad news is that clicking on Console/Virtual Control Panel gets me
"MSGSSL004 - An error was encountered during the handshake phase of
establishing a secure connection (Received fatal alert:
handshake_failure)."

I do have a dump file, but I have no idea what to do with it.

Now what?
