Test TCP/IP

After you have successfully installed TCP/IP Connectivity and Utilities licensed program and configured TCP/IP on your iSeries™ system, you should test your TCP/IP connections.

To test your TCP/IP connection to the network, follow these steps:

  1. Verify that TCP/IP communication is configured and started on each of the workstations. Use the documentation provided by your workstation vendor.
  2. From workstation 1, open a command prompt and type ping 192.168.1.3. You might receive a message that confirms the packet has been sent to iSeries A. This verifies that the workstation can access the server. If the connection to the network fails, you can see TCP/IP troubleshooting topic in the information center for more information.
