The #0382 Remote Control Panel Cable was
July 2002. The #0383 Remote Control Panel Cable replaces the #0382. The PC
that connects to the #0383 cable must have V5R2 iSeries Access for Windows
with service pack SI06631 installed, or later.
The iSeries systems use a parallel interface to connect the Remote Control
Panel for Models 270, 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and 890. This is valid
only when the #0383 Remote Control Panel Cable is used.
iSeries Navigator can be enabled on the Operations Console PC. An advantage
of this is that you can centralize system management functions through a single
asynchronous connection to the iSeries server using the iSeries console,
Remote Control Panel capabilities, and iSeries Navigator on one PC.
Operations Console is a follow-on to the AS/400 Client Access Communications
console. It is packaged with the iSeries Access for Windows product (5722-XE1),
which is part of the iSeries Access family of software (5722-XW1). Operations
Console is an optionally installed component of 5722-XE1, but no 5722-XW1
license is required to use this component. Licensing is covered as part of OS/400
and iSeries Access for Windows can be found in the iSeries Setup and
Operations CD-ROM.
Operations Console supports three types of local console configurations:
Local console directly attached: A PC locally attached to an iSeries server
through the Operations Console cable. Remote users are unable to connect
to this PC.
Local console directly attached with remote access allowed: A PC locally
attached to an iSeries server through the Operations Console cable. Remote
users can connect to this PC, with or without the intervention of an operator.
Local console on a network: A PC that is using the Service Tools Security
framework and connects to the iSeries Server over the LAN. The PC can be
set up to have the console function as well as the Remote Control Panel
function. A dedicated LAN adapter is required. To allow the Remote Control
Panel function which allows an iSeries server to be powered on, the #0383
Remote Control Panel Cable must also be installed for Models 270, 800, 810,
820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and 890.
Remote console through dial-up support: Remote consoles are PCs that
dial in to a local console directly attached with remote access allowed for
remote access to the iSeries server. The PC dialing in remotely can then
become the console. If the remote control panel is installed and configured on
the local console, you can also use the remote control panel functions.
