3. From the Connection menu, select Properties.

Creating a new configuration for the virtual control panel:
Use the following instructions to create a new connection configuration specifically for the virtual control
panel (VCP):
1. From the Connection menu, select New Connection.
2. Select Next. If the window asking about prerequisites appears, select Yes.
3. Leave the option Local Area Network (LAN) selected and click Next.
4. Enter a name to refer to your VCP connection and select the partition the VCP will control, then
click Next.
Notes:
v If the PC you are working with is connected to a network, do not use a name that can be
found on that network.
| v When setting up VCP in System i environment, there is no partition 0.
5. If the Service TCP/IP Address field contains a value, you will have to use Back and enter another
name. The name you used was found on your network or in the hosts file. If no TCP/IP address is
listed, enter 192.168.0.2.
Note: In some cases, the address 192.168.0.n may have been previously used for something other
than Operations Console. In those cases the user may have had to use a different base address
for Operations Console such as 192.168.1.n. If so, use the base address currently assigned to
Operations Console, but make the last value a 2. For example, use 192.168.1.2. To check the
current base address, use regedit (or other registry editing program) and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/IBM/Client Access/CurrentVersion/AS400
Operations Console/LCS/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/IBM/Client
Access/CurrentVersion/AS400 Operations Console/LCS/
Expand LCS and select the appropriate configuration. Check the key IP Address. Use the IP
address reported on your PC to validate the VCP address.
6. Enter the value of 0.0.0.0 in the Service gateway address 1 field. You are not required to enter
anything in the Service gateway address 2 field.
7. Enter a serial number in the iSeries serial number field. This does not have to be the real system
serial number. Click Next.
