Configuring iSeries For ASCII Using TCP/IP
The next step is to configure the interface on the iSeries for TCP/IP.
NOTE: The iSeries interface is not the ethernet. Do not set the iSeries
Configuring With ADDTCPIFC
ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to the iSeries. This step
configures the iSeries for attachments to a TCP/IP network.
At the iSeries command line, enter the following command:
ADDTCPIFC INTNETADR ('9.99.15.188') LIND(ETHLAN)
SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.0')
Figure 36 displays in bold the parameters you need to specify.
Type choices, press Enter.
Internet address
Line description
Subnet mask
Alias name
Associated local interface
Type of service

Autostart
PVC logical channel identifer + for more values
X.25 idle circuit timeout
X.25 maximum virtual circuits
X.25 DDN interface
TRLAN bit sequencing
interface address to the same address as the ethernet IP address.
Also, do not add the ethernet to the iSeries TCP/IP interface list.
