Set up the server for a local console through dial-up

Only complete this task if you are configuring a local console through dial-up
support.
The iSeries server requires that a valid modem be attached. Usually, this is the
electronic customer support modem. Supported types are 7852-400, 7855-10,
7857-017 and 2771.
If there is already a console device present, you may use it. Otherwise, you may
need to temporarily attach another console such as:
v A twinaxial-attached console
v An Operations Console connected locally (if an Operations Console cable is
available)
To configure the server, you need do the following:
1. Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST). You need authorization to make changes
in this environment.
2. Plug the electronic customer support cable into the same port as the Operations
Console cable would go. For more information, see Install an Operations
Console cable.
3. If you are using the 2771 integrated modem, be sure the telephone line is
connected before connecting your console.
