the administrator can restrict the use of Operations Navigator, control the use of
ODBC, and disable users from changing their passwords. These enhancements vastly
improve an AS/400 administrator's ability to manage and control PC desktops.
• Operations Navigator has many enhancements with OS/400 V4R3. A discussion of
these enhancements can be found in "Operations Navigator" on page 505.
• Operations Console is an enhancement to PC Console, which is currently enabled
through 5250 emulation and connects directly to an AS/400 system through a special
cable. Operations Console connects to an AS/400 system through TCP/IP and
improves remote AS/400 system operations and service from a PC as it provides an
AS/400 System Console session and a Graphical Control Panel application. All
Control Panel functions are supported (except for those for on-site Customer Engineer
(CE) use such as power up/down and keylock position changing). This function can be
installed when installing the Windows 95/NT client. Operations Console requires
OS/400 V4R3.
Client Access for Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11
The following functions, previously available only for SNA/APPC and AnyNet connections, are
now available when using a native TCP/IP connection:
• The ability to define and run a PC5250 printer emulation session. This enables users
to send AS/400 print files to PC printers. PC print files transformed to an AS/400
spooled file can be redirected to a PC-attached printer. Using standard Windows 95
NT print drivers or customizing through the PC5250 print menu offers optimal printing
flexibility.
• The ability to designate a specific 5250 workstation device ID for display sessions.
• The ability to bypass the AS/400 signon screen.
These capabilities are available with PTFs for PC5250. Refer to Informational APAR II11226
for PTF numbers and availability.
IBM Wireless Connection for AS/400 V4R4, 5798-TBW
IBM Wireless Connection for AS/400 connects AS/400 Wireless LAN barcode scanning
devices to the AS/400 system through a wireless LAN network. This allows support of
application requirements such as wireless data collection and wireless barcode scanning.
Wireless Connection for AS/400 eliminates the need for a separate controller for wireless
barcode scanning applications.
Functions provided include wireless network management, centralized configuration of radio
frequency (RF) data collection devices, and direct connection to Ethernet and Token-Ring
