emulator with console screen data; the others would see blank screens. The emulator is
activated (connection is established) on a first in, first served basis.
If concurrent standard LAN activity is desired, such as running workstation functions,
configure a second LAN adapter and vary it on. Separate IP addresses are required.
Operations Console on the LAN does not need a cable (#0382) to work with the functions of
the Remote Control Panel for secondary partitions. Select the function during setup and use
the privileges granted for the Service Device Profile and the Service User Profile to get the
Remote Control Panel to work on the PC.
When you select the Operations Console on the LAN for your iSeries server, IBM delivers one
#0367 Operations Console cable with a new order. It is shipped with an upgrade if that cable
is not yet on your configuration.
With the V5R1 Service Tools Security enhancements, the Operation Console over the LAN
connection is highly secured. Only one PC can use a Service Tools Device profile once a
successful connection has been established. You can also encrypt the traffic between the
console and the server by installing the Client Encryption on the Operation Console PC
(5722-CEx) and the Cryptographic Access Provider (5722-ACx) on the iSeries server.
Operations Console and Remote Control Panel (#0382 for direct-attach) are installed and
used from PCs using the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or Windows 2000 Professional
(required for local console when remote PC access is desired) or Windows 95, 98, Me 2000
PC operating systems. The console and control panel applications can be used together or
separately. Each requires its own direct cable attachment. The cables are purchased
separately and are unique to the system being used.
The iSeries Model 270 and 8xx systems use a parallel interface, Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP), to connect the Remote Control Panel. The PC used must have an EPP (1.9) capable
port. This is valid only when the Remote Control Panel cable is used, since the Remote
Control Panel works on a LAN attached Operations Console without a separate physical
connection other than the LAN cable.
Operations Navigator can be enabled from the Operations Console. These enhancements
include:
• Centralizing system management functions through a single asynchronous connection
to the iSeries or AS/400e server using the AS/400 console and remote AS/400 Control
Panel capabilities and Operations Navigator on one PC.
• You can write Windows applications to perform AS/400 Control Panel functions with an
AS/400 Control Panel sockets API.
