Using Java Console To Remotely Log On To The Service Processor - IBM 950 User Manual

A service processor can run the following controller and expansion unit
combinations:
IBM recommends that controllers be installed in the room, within 10 m of the
service processor. Connecting an additional controller to the service processor will
not interfere with ones already installed.
Large installations that need more than four 3745s and two 3746-900s require
several service processors and controllers. If all the groups are attached to the
same token-ring LAN (either directly attached or through a token-ring bridge), then
one remote DCAF workstation located at a central control point can access and
control all the 3745s/3746s located in the same or different machine rooms.

Using Java Console to Remotely Log On to the Service Processor

Java Console enables a link for a remote workstation to access and control a
service processor and network node processor (NNP) across the network. With a
link established to the target service processor using Java Console, the user has
access to the programs and utilities running on the service processor. For
example, with a link activated between the service processor and a remote
workstation, MOSS-E functions are available to the user.
There are two different ways of accessing Java Console:
The remote workstation is platform-independent, and can run one of the following
operating systems:
Communication between the remote workstation and the service processor is
supported over a switched PPP link or via the IP network.
In order to use Java Console, you must enable an option and customize several
parameters in the MOSS-E, including IP addresses and passwords. For more
information on Java Console, refer to Console Setup Guide, SA33-0158.
