iSeries Access for Windows must be installed to use iSeries Operations Console.
During the installation of iSeries Access for Windows, iSeries Operations
Console support is installed. If PC5250 or IBM Personal Communications
Version 5.7 with CSD 1 minimum or later is not already installed, a 5250 emulator
is installed during the iSeries Access for Windows installation. The Operations
Console Cable is required to use the console function for a direct attached
Operations Console PC. The remote control panel cable is required to use the
remote control panel function (a graphical control panel to operate as the iSeries
control panel). The control panel cable part number is 53P5704 (CCIN is 0383).
iSeries Operations Console support is available for OS/400 V5R1 and later. For
V5R1 and later, it is the only type of PC console supported by the iSeries Model
270, 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and 890 systems.
You can find setup information in the iSeries Information Center at:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter
Under Connecting to iSeries, select the Operations Console topic.
Remote control panel
iSeries 270, 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and 890 servers use a parallel
interface (LPT) instead of a COM port for the Remote Control Panel. The 520,
550, and 570 and 595 POWER5 models do not support a directly cabled remote
control panel.
The #0383 Remote Control Panel Cable enables use of the Remote Control
Panel function on a PC supporting a Model 270, 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840,
870, and 890.
For cable connection details and PC requirements, in the iSeries Information
Center, under Connecting to iSeries, see Operations Console on the Web at:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter
Consider these points:
V5R1 and later Operations Console users may want to consider Virtual
Control Panel to obtain Remote Control Panel functions without needing a
direct parallel cable connection. For further information about installing Virtual
Control Panel, in the Information Center, under Connecting to iSeries, see
Operations Console on the Web at:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter
Use of the Remote Control Panel function is independent of the System
Console.
