v Manually assign the name along with the network configuration using the current console or

| another workstation.
| v Let the PC assign the name and IP information.
Click Next to allow the system to search for the system on the network. If the PC receives information
|
back from the network or the target service interface, the Service TCP/IP Address shows the IP
|
| address returned.
6. Verify if the IP address shown is correct, and then click Next.
|
7. Verify or supply data for all the required fields. Then, click Next.

The partition numbering on models 8xx starts at 0. Partition numbering on all other models starts at
|
| 1.
| 8. If this is the first console connection to the system, accept the default QCONSOLE service tools device
ID provided in the field. If you have created a specific service tools device ID for this configured
|
| connection, enter it now. Then, click Next. This takes you to the Complete window.
| 9. Click Finish to save the configuration and exit the setup wizard.
Results

If you plan to use the remote control panel function with this configured connection, you need to make a
|
successful connection before you can select the option in Properties. This allows Operations Console to
|
| determine that the service tools device ID being used for this connection has permission to the remote
control panel functions on the system.
|
| Note: You no longer have to assign an access password. Operations Console has made this assignment
and will automatically manage it. If, however, you elect to change this password in Properties, you
|
| will take control from Operations Console and you will have to manually enter it when prompted
| at the time of a connection. See Operations Console simplification for more information.

| The service host name (interface name) is the name that identifies the System i service connection on
your network that is used for service tools, which includes an Operations Console local console on a
|
network (LAN) configuration.

Connecting a local console on a network to a system:
|
| Connecting a local console on a network (LAN) to a system enables you to have an active console and a
functional remote control panel (if configured).
|
| Before you begin
| An active console is a command interface to a System i platform (5250 emulation) that is currently
interacting with the system. You can use a functional remote control panel to perform most control panel
|
functions (depending on the partition to which you are connected) as if you were at the system.
