automatically after calling the function, if the expected reference code did not appear in a few minutes.
Network connection errors: These are solutions to problems that occur when a local console fails to
connect to a server over a network.
Try these possible solutions:
v Make sure the network is working.
v Verify that you provided the correct password that allows the server to access your service device
information during the configuration wizard. Also, verify that you provide the correct service tools
user ID and password.
v If you are using Ethernet for your network, you can use a crossover cable to directly connect the PC to
the adapter card temporarily. This will isolate the PC and server from any potential problems on your
network that might interfere with proper operations.
Note: A crossover cable is a standard network cable but has the transmit and receive signal wires
reversed. This virtually allows each end to act as if a hub, switch, or router is between them.
Error message: The connection to the system is not a secure connection: You may receive this error
message: The connection to the system is not a secure connection. This error message may be preceded
by the message Remote control panel connection to <your connection name --> failed. Do you want
to try again? if the remote control panel is also configured.
These messages appropriately appear during a D-mode (installation) IPL. Authentication is not performed
and the remote control panel (LAN) is not supported for this IPL type.
Local or remote console status remains Connecting: These are solutions to problems that prevent the
local console from connecting to the server or the remote console from connecting to a local console due
to improper hardware or software configurations:
v Verify that the resources of the PC are free of address or interrupt request (IRQ) conflicts. Operations
Console uses addresses in the range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255. If you run any software that
makes your PC SOCKS-enabled, check your SOCKS configuration and make sure that the entry is:
Direct
192.168.0.0
A SOCKS-enabled PC accesses the Internet through a firewall, such as Microsoft Proxy Client,
Hummingbird SOCKS Client, or others.
v Verify that the iSeries server name and the local console name are correct.
v If you are using Ethernet for your network, you can use a crossover cable to directly connect the PC to
the adapter card temporarily. This will isolate the PC and server from any potential problems on your
network that might interfere with proper operations.
Note: A crossover cable is a standard network cable but has the transmit and receive signal wires
reversed. This virtually allows each end to act as if a hub, switch, or router is between them.
