USB support is now available for Operations Console
|
Enhancements for Operations Console include:
|
|
Improved Configuration Wizard
The Installation Wizard has been simplified.
|
v An assumption is made in the wizard to select both the console and remote control panel for
|
|
LAN configurations.
|
– This allows the user to skip the selection of functions.
– Since a serial remote control panel rarely failed to detect and parallel has no actual detection,
|
the associated wizard screens were removed.
|
|
– You can turn off either the console or remote control panel using Properties to achieve the
|
desired configuration.
v All local consoles with remote support will default to run attended mode. Again, Properties can
|
be used to change this to unattended.
|
Take over and recover the Operations Console connection
|
It is now possible for LAN-connected Operations Console devices to take over the console from
|
|
another device. In addition, when console take over is enabled, the loss of the current console or a
take over, will no longer force the end of the running job. This means that jobs such as installation
|
of OS/400, performing a system save, or restore in restricted mode, will not have to be started over
|
|
if the connection to the console is lost.
|
Documentation
|
The Operations Console topic has been modified to make it easier to find topics of interest.
v The planning section was rewritten to separate out the standard planning information from the
|
considerations for a backup console.
|
|
v Instructions for setting up the Virtual Control Panel have been added.
|
v Some basic information is being handled in multiple areas to reduce the need to link the user to
another document.
|
v There are more examples for additional clarity for some subjects.
|
|
Additional hardware support
The remote control panel cable support for 270 and 8xx models has been reinstated with a new
|
|
cable part number (53P5704).
Error messages
|
|
Additional error messages have been added to provide more details about the failure and
recommended recovery actions are included.
|
|
Discontinued functions for Operations Console include:
v Discontinued the local console via dial-up connection configuration.
|
Operations Console no longer supports a PC console directly connecting to an iSeries server via
|
|
modem.
|
v Support for Windows 98/Me has been dropped.
Operations Console no longer supports Windows 98/Me.
