Part 1. Operations Console

You can interact with your iSeries
Console as a system console to access and administer your iSeries.
Operations Console is an installable component of iSeries Access for Windows
allows you to use one or more PCs to access and control, either remotely or locally,
the iSeries console and control panel functions.
Operations Console uses 5250 emulation provided by either iSeries Access for
Windows or IBM
iSeries control panel, Operations Console provides a graphical remote control panel
or virtual control panel. Operations Console can use a local area network (LAN),
TCP/IP-based connectivity in addition to direct cable attachment, and dial-up
connections to enable communications between an iSeries server and a PC. It
supports dial-in connections from remote PCs to PCs that are directly attached to
iSeries servers. These remote PCs can then function as an iSeries console. A local
console through dial-up support enables communications to iSeries servers running
without a local console. These PCs can then function as iSeries consoles.
This topic provides you with information and instructions to plan, set up, and
