can be used for either the console or the serial remote control panel, or both if you use 2 adapters.
|
|
Communications ports 1 thru 9 is supported in Operations Console.
Note: Ports 5 thru 9 will only be available when the client service pack SI10817 (V5R3) or later is
|
|
installed.
Any adapter should work but IBM can not guarantee every adapter to work correctly in every PC
|
|
environment. Should a failure occur, you can contact the manufacturer of the adapter, the manufacturer
of the PC, your hardware service provider, or try another adapter.
|
|
Restrictions on use:
|
The adapter must plug directly into a PC's USB connector. The use of a USB hub to share connections is
|
not supported but it may work. Also, the use of USB extension cables is not supported.
Plan for your Operations Console install or upgrade
|
|
If you are upgrading to V5R3 and you want to replace an existing console with Operations Console,
upgrade the system before migrating the console. This will prevent any conflict between the existing
|
console and the Operations Console. For instructions on upgrading your OS/400, see the Upgrades topic
|
|
and Install the OS/400 release and related software topic.
Prerequisite information for Operations Console users upgrading to, or installing, V5R3:
|
|
You must comply with the following before upgrading or installing your software (OS/400, Licensed
Internal Code) to V5R3:
|
1. If you use the Operations Console configuration, Local console directly attached to the server, the
|
|
adapter used for the cable connection must be in a specific location. The adapter can be a 2721, 2742,
|
2745, 2771, or 2793. The location is based on the server model shown in the following table:
|
Note: If your iSeries has a 2771 card in the processing unit and you plan to use Operations Console
as either your primary console or as a backup console, it must be installed in the location
|
designated by model for cable connections prior to the upgrade or install. Each model has a
|
|
different preferred location. Refer to Install an Operations Console cable.

2.
For all upgrades and installs you need to establish a connection between the iSeries server and
|
|
Operations Console PC using the service tools user ID of 11111111 (eight 1's). This will prevent the
shipped expired user IDs from preventing a successful re-authentication of the client connection to the
|
|
server. When you receive the OS/400 release upgrade, the shipped user IDs (except 11111111) are
|
expired. To establish a successful re-authentication of the client connection to the server, enter the
service tools user ID of 11111111 (eight 1's). This is especially important for automatic installations.
