Local Console Receives Message: Remote Access Service Server Did Not Start; System Requests Will Not Work - IBM E Server i Series Manual

Local console receives message: Remote Access Service
server did not start
If a local console is set up to receive calls and there is no PC modem configured to
receive those calls, it will post a Remote Access Service Server did not start
message. To fix this, either set up the local console to not receive calls or configure
a modem (even one that does not exist). But be careful with this latter approach. If
both serial ports are assigned to Operations Console, the modem will have to
reside on COM3 and many PCs will not have one. This can also be caused by not
having the Windows NT Service pack installed.

System requests will not work

When using Operations Console, SYSREQ equals Shift+ESC as defined as the
default for 5250 emulation. Most keyboards have the Prt Screen key labeled as
SYSREQ would be activated by using that key with the Ctrl key, but Windows has
that key reserved. You have to remap the keyboard by using the operating system,
not 5250, in order to change it.
