Configure TCP/IP on the iSeries server

Use this information to configure TCP/IP on the iSeries™ server.

TCP/IP is a licensed program that is shipped with i5/OS™. This information assumes that you have TCP/IP installed on your iSeries server. You can find the procedure for installing TCP/IP (5722-TC1) on your iSeries server in Install additional licensed programs.

If you have TCP/IP already set up on your iSeries server, then you do not need to perform any additional TCP/IP configuration for iSeries Access for Windows^®.

Note: VPN is an option for secure remote connections. For iSeries VPN information, see Virtual private networking.

Configure TCP/IP for LAN use

If you plan on using iSeries Access for Windows over a LAN, then you must configure TCP/IP for LAN use. For information about configuring TCP/IP on your iSeries server, see TCP/IP Setup.

Configure TCP/IP for PPP or SLIP connections

If you are using SLIP or PPP to connect the PC to the iSeries server, see the topic about PPP connections for information about configuring point-to-point TCP/IP.
