About this task

During the installation of System i Access for Windows, you install a 5250 emulator or IBM Personal

Communications V5.9 (V5.7 CSD 1 minimum) and Operations Console support. See the System i Access

Web site for up-to-date PC requirements.

To check whether you have System i Access for Windows installed, follow these steps:

1. Click Start and select Settings.

2. Click Control Panel.

3. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. If you are using Windows Vista, double-click Programs and

Features.

4. Look for IBM System i Access for Windows.

5. To close Add/Remove Programs, click Cancel.

6. Close the Control Panel.

Results

If you do not have System i Access for Windows installed, use the System i Access for Windows DVD,

SK3T-4098 to install it:

1. Insert the System i Access for Windows DVD into the DVD drive.

2. Select the System i Access for Windows option to start the installation. Wait until the IBM System i

Access for Windows window appears.

3. To continue with the setup program, click Next and follow the prompts.

4. If you are installing System i Access for Windows for the first time, ensure that you have at least a

minimum configuration for running Operations Console. If you are only adding the Operations

Console component, add only the components necessary to meet this minimum configuration.

5. To ensure the minimum configuration takes place, select Custom or Full install and select at least the

following components:

a. Required Programs

b. 5250 Display and Printer Emulator (if IBM Personal Communications (V5.9 or V5.7 CICS system

definition data set (CSD) 1 minimum) is not installed)

You do not need a license to use 5250 Display Emulation only for Operations Console, even

though the window says that you do.

If your Operations Console configuration is going to support only the remote control panel, you

do not need to install an emulator.

c. Operations Console.

6. Click Next and follow the prompts.

7. Apply System i Access for Windows service packs.
