<h3 id="scenario3">Scenario: Configure a remote PPP dial-up connection</h3>
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Situation</span></p>
<p>Suppose you purchase an additional iSeries&trade; server for
MyCompany, a small manufacturing company in Boone, Iowa. As part of providing
support, you need to establish a connection between electronic customer support
and MyCompany's iSeries server. Since this server does not include a modem
and MyCompany does not have an Internet bound network connection, you could
configure a remote connection through another iSeries server or HMC that already has a dial
up point-to point connection to electronic customer services. For more information
about set up for an HMC environment, see <a href="../icbase/ipha5/settingup.htm" target="_blank">Setting up your service environment</a> in the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center.</p>
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Solution</span></p>
<p>Create a remote Universal Connection to IBM&reg; through the AT&reg;&amp;T Global Network Services (AGNS). In
this case, you establish a connection through the Connection Manager on your
remote iSeries server through an AGNS point-to-point connection to electronic
customer support.</p>
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Advantages</span></p>
<p>This scenario provides the following advantages: </p>
<ul>
<li>MyCompany does not need to invest in an additional modem,
cabling, or software to receive benefit from electronic customer support.
You can configure this connection through the Universal Connection wizard
or CL commands.</li>
<li>The AGNS connection provides a simple means of ensuring that MyCompany
has electronic customer support available for ease of troubleshooting server
problems, tracking current system hardware and software, or receiving software
updates and fixes.</li>
<li>The AGNS provides a secure connection between MyCompany and IBM by
implementing its own security when making a connection. You do not need to
provide additional security.</li></ul>
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Objectives </span></p>
<p>In this scenario, the customer wants to ensure that IBM can support
the remote MyCompany server over the network though a point to point connection
through AT&amp;T Global Network Services. The objectives of this scenario are
as follows: </p>
<ul>
<li>To create a remote point-to-point dial-up connection between the customer
and ECS through AT&amp;T Global Network Services</li>
<li>To automate customer support through electronic customer support and services</li>
<li>To allow remote electronic customer support to create an electronic hardware
and software inventory of MyCompany's iSeries servers</li>
<li>To permit electronic customer support to send software fixes and updates
to the remote MyCompany iSeries server over the network</li></ul>
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Details</span></p>
<p>The following diagram illustrates creating a remote connection to another
server to access electronic customer support through an AT&amp;T Global
Network Services connection.</p>
<div class="mmobj">
<img src="rzatj508.gif" alt="Diagram that depicts a remote PPP dial-up connection" /></div>
<a name="scenprereqs3"></a>
<p id="scenprereqs3" class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Prerequisites
and assumptions</span></p>
<p>The prerequisites for enabling electronic customer support over remote
AGNS connection include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure that the iSeries Access for Windows&reg; and iSeries Navigator exist on your personal computer,
as described in the <a href="../rzaij/rzaijrzaijinstall.htm">iSeries Access for Windows:
Installation and setup</a>.</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).
<a name="wq51"></a>
<div class="notetitle" id="wq51">Note:</div>
<div class="notebody">This scenario is supported for V5R1,
V5R2, V5R3 and V5R4 systems. However, V5R3 or later iSeries Navigator
is required in order to configure this option. The VPN will only be used over AT&amp;T
if your server is at V5R3 or later.</div></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></ul>
<ul>
<li>The Universal Connection from the server with the modem must
have been configured to provide AT&amp;T connectivity to others before you
can actually use this remote connection. If the modem is attached to an HMC,
see <a href="../icbase/ipha5/settingup.htm" target="_blank">Setting up your service environment</a> in the IBM Systems Hardware Information Center for instructions on how to configure it to allow the
use of its modem.</li>
<li>You must have configured TCP/IP connectivity between this system and the
one containing the modem.</li></ul>
<p class="sectionscenariobar"><span class="bold">Remote server configuration
steps</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 remote system:</p>
