Meet Operations Console software requirements: Before you continue, make sure that you have
satisfied the Operations Console hardware requirements according to your intended configuration.
Operations Console is supported on Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or later, Windows 2000 Professional,
and Windows XP Professional.
The iSeries Access for Windows versions, for both the local console and the remote console, must be at
the same level for proper operation of Operations Console.
PC5250 or IBM Personal Communications (V5.7 CSD 1 minimum) needs to be installed for the console
only. It is not required for remote control panel only configurations.
Note: If you run any software that enables SOCKS on your PC (the PC accesses the Internet through a
firewall, such as Microsoft
you cannot route the subnet for 192.168.0.0 to the firewall. Operations Console uses addresses in
the range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255. Incorrect routing causes Operations Console to fail. Check
your SOCKS configuration and make sure that the entry is:
Direct
192.168.0.0
Data encryption for a local console on a network:
To use a local console on a network, you are strongly encouraged to install cryptographic products. This
support may be a separate product or it may be available from another source. Use the strongest
encryption available for the best security.

Meet Operations Console cable requirements: Depending on your configuration, you need to install a
cable or card on the server. To connect your local console directly attached to the server you must use the
|
correct cables. To connect a local console on a network you need a LAN adapter.
|
Note: Supported cards and locations are only for non-partitioned servers or primary partitions. Logical
|
partitions may support additional adapters, especially in migration towers, based on the tower's
|
|
capability. For example, a tower containing an SPD-bus would support a 2699 adapter.
This table lists the Operations Console cards and cables that you need to have available for your setup.
