Operations Console
The iSeries supports a directly-attached, full-function 5250 PC console that includes a
graphical control panel application. The user interface of the control panel application
resembles its hardware counterpart. The console emulator application (PC5250) serves as
the console "device" of the iSeries. The graphical control panel application permits remote
entry of most of the functions supported by the hardware control panel mounted on the front
of iSeries server units. Control panel functions such as power up/down, re-IPL, mode
changes, etc. are supported.
The console and control panel applications can be used together or separately, but each
requires its own direct cable attachment to an iSeries server. Each cable must be purchased
separately from IBM for the iSeries model being used. Both cables are only available in a
single length of 6 meters.
Operations Console: Remote Capabilities
The direct-attach Operations Console can also serve as a gateway for a remote, dial-in
Operations Console. The remote Operations Console can also be configured to run the 5250
emulator application and/or the graphical control panel application. Both applications in
