Configure TCP/IP using the EZ-Setup wizard

Use this preferred method if your PC is equipped to use the EZ-Setup wizard. The EZ-Setup wizard is packaged with your iSeries™ server.

iSeries Navigator is a graphical user interface that provides concise dialog boxes and wizards to configure TCP/IP. For initial setup, use the iSeries Navigator's EZ-Setup wizard to establish a connection and to configure TCP/IP for the first time. This is the preferred method for working with your server because the interface is easy to use. The CD-ROM containing the EZ-Setup wizard is packaged with your iSeries server.

To configure your server, follow these steps:

  1. Use the EZ-Setup wizard. Access the wizard from the CD-ROM that is packaged with your server. Follow the wizard's instructions to configure TCP/IP.
  2. Start TCP/IP.
    1. In iSeries Navigator, expand your your server > Network.
    2. Right-click TCP/IP configuration and select Start. All interfaces and servers that were set to start automatically when TCP/IP is started will be started at this time.

You have finished configuring TCP/IP on your server. Use iSeries Navigator to modify the configuration as your networking needs change.
