Workstation Access To A Service Processor; Configuring Java Console - IBM 950 User Manual

Java Console File Transfer
Java Console provides a utility for file transfer, for example, CCM configuration
files, between the service processor and the remote workstation.
With Java Console running as an applet (web browser-based), this function
downloads files from the service processor to the remote workstation. However, to
upload files from the workstation to the service processor, the Java Console
program has to be installed onto your workstation hard disk. For more information
on installing Java Console on your remote workstation, see "Installing Java Console
as a Program on a Remote Workstation" on page 17-1.

Workstation Access to a Service Processor

There are three possible ways to access the service processor from a remote
workstation:
Remote Access Via Switched-Line (Modem)
In this scenario, the service processor is configured to run PPP server over a
COM1 port attached to an asynchronous modem. Using Java Console, a remote
workstation asynchronous modem connects to the service processor with PPP
dial-up client.
The configuration for this type of link is described in "Remote Workstation Access
Via Switched Line (Modem)" on page 16-2.
Local Access Via the Service Ring
In this scenario, Java Console directly connects to the service ring for TCP/IP
communication with the service processor.
The configuration for this type of link is described in "Remote Workstation Access
Via Service LAN" on page 16-12.
Remote Access Via the User Network
In this scenario, the network provides IP access to the service processor via a
router or a bridge connected to the service ring of the 3745/3746. If the 3746 is the
router providing this connection (via a TIC 3 port), it must run the IP Routing FC
5033.
Note: Java Console can establish a connection to one 3745/3746 service

Configuring Java Console

Support for Java Console (either as an Applet or as a program) and for DCAF is
provided by microcode level F12720 and higher. When the new level of microcode
is installed, you have the option of retaining support for DCAF or selecting Java
Console for remote access.

processor and then use this connection to access other service processors.
The other service processors can be accessed through the following:
Service ring, if connected to the same service ring.
IP network, as long as there is IP connectivity, bridged or routed,
between the first service processor and the other service processors.
