<h3 id="cfgdirect">Configure a direct Internet connection</h3>
<p>Use the following Universal Connection wizard procedure to
create a Universal Connection to any of the following services through a direct
Internet connection:</p>
<ul>
<li>Electronic customer support</li>
<li>Electronic service agent</li>
<li>Information Center Update</li></ul>
<a name="wq151"></a>
<div class="notetitle" id="wq151">Note:</div>
<div class="notebody">See <a href="scenario4.htm#scenario4">Scenario: Configure a direct Internet connection</a> and <a href="scenario5.htm#scenario5">Scenario: Configure a direct Internet connection from a
server that provides connectivity for other systems or partitions</a> for
specific configuration examples.</div>
<p><span class="bold">Prerequisites</span></p>
<p>The prerequisites for enabling electronic customer support
over a direct Internet connection include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The iSeries&trade; server must have a globally routable IP address, or the server
must be behind a NAT firewall with a globally routable address.</li>
<li>Ensure that you install all of the latest service packs for iSeries Navigator.
The scenarios show using the V5R4 version of the software.</li>
<li>Ensure that TCP/IP is active. You can start TCP/IP through the Start TCP/IP
(STRTCP) command.</li>
<li>You must have security officer (*SECOFR) authority with *ALLOBJ,
*IOSYSCFG, and *SECADM special authorities in your i5/OS&trade; user profile and *USE authority to WRKCNTINF
in order to configure the connection using the Universal Connection wizard.</li>
<li>You must install the TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities (5722&ndash;TC1).</li>
<li>You must install the Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) (5722-SS1
option 34).</li>
<li>Ensure that the QRETSVRSEC system value is set to 1. You can check this
value with the Display System Value (DSPSYSVAL) command. If this value is
not set to 1, enter a Change System Value (CHGSYSVAL) command.</li>
<li>Ensure that a TCP/IP route exists to route the Universal Connection Packets
to the Internet. In most situations the default route will work.</li>
<li>Ensure your filter rules allow Universal Connection traffic to flow to
the Internet. See <a href="packetff.htm#packetff">IP Packet Filter Firewall</a> for details.</li></ul>
<p><span class="bold">Configuring a Universal Connection from your server through
a direct Internet connection</span></p>
<p>Assuming that TCP/IP configuration already exists and works, complete the
following steps to set up the Universal Connection if you connect to electronic
customer support through a local server:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Start the iSeries Navigator and select the Universal Connection wizard.</li>
<li>Select either primary or backup connection configuration. The default
is primary.</li>
<li>Check the box to view and modify contact information.</li>
<li>Enter the service, address, and country (or region) information on the
Universal Connection wizard dialog.</li>
<li>Connect from the current system with a direct connection to the Internet
as a connection type.</li>
<li>Check the box if you want to configure a proxy, then fill out the proxy
information.</li>
<li>Indicate that this server does not provide connectivity for other servers
or partitions.</li>
<li>Review the Summary window to ensure that the configuration meets your
requirements, and click <span class="bold">Finish</span> to save your configuration.</li>
<li>When prompted, test the connection from your server to electronic customer
support.</li></ol>
<p><span class="bold">Configuring a Universal Connection from your server that
provides connectivity for other systems through a direct Internet connection</span></p>
<p>Complete the following steps to set up the Universal Connection when you
connect to electronic customer support through your local server that acts
as a connecting point for other servers:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Start the iSeries Navigator and select the Universal Connection wizard.</li>
<li>Select either primary or backup connection configuration. The default
is primary.</li>
<li>Check the box to view and modify contact information.</li>
<li>Enter the service, address, and country (or region) information on the
Universal Connection wizard screens.</li>
<li>Connect from the current system with a direct connection to the Internet
as a connection type.</li>
<li>Check the box if you want to configure a proxy, then fill out the proxy
information.</li>
<li>Specify that you want this iSeries server to function as a connecting
point through which other servers or partitions connect to electronic customer
support.</li>
<li>Select an interface or interfaces through which the other servers or partitions
will be allowed to connect to electronic customer support.</li>
<li>Create or select an L2TP terminator profile. You need this profile to
recognize the other systems or servers that connect to electronic customer
support through your server.</li>
<li>Configure a Service and Support proxy server.</li>
<li>Review the Summary window to ensure that the configuration meets your
requirements, and click <span class="bold">Finish</span> to save your configuration.</li>
<li>When prompted, test the connection from your server to IBM&reg; customer support.</li></ol>
