<div><p>Before configuring your Operations Console and iSeries Navigator,
familiarize yourself with this information.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Both iSeries™ Navigator
and Operations Console can be run on a single PC. Depending on how you have
Operations Console connected to your iSeries server, there are two possible
network configuration options available. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>iSeries Navigator
is the graphical user interface for managing and administering your iSeries server
from your Windows<sup>®</sup> desktop. iSeries Navigator makes operation and
administration of iSeries servers easier and more productive. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>Operations Console allows you to use a local or remote PC to access
and control an iSeries console,
a control panel, or both. Operations Console has been enhanced to enable connections
or console activities across a local area network (LAN), besides enabling
directly cabled connections. A single PC can have multiple connections to
multiple iSeries servers
and can be the console for multiple iSeries servers. An example is having
a logically partitioned server using the same PC as the console for all partitions.
Since each partition is considered a separate iSeries server, you need a separate connection
to the partition for which you want to use the console. Operations Console
allows multiple connections to a single iSeries server, but only one PC can have
control of an iSeries server
at a time. Based on the Operation Console connectivity, you could have one
of two methods of configuration. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"> <ol><li>The PC using Operation Console as a local console directly attached to
the server will require a network connection for iSeries Navigator. In order to complete
the iSeries Navigator
connection, the iSeries will
need to have a network adapter and configured <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> line
description (LIND). <p>Operations Console connecting over a serial cable attached
to an asynchronous card on the iSeries machine. iSeries Navigator is connected through
a LAN adapter on the iSeries machine. The PC will communicate to Operations
Console through it's communication port while communicating with iSeries Navigator
through the LAN connectivity. </p>

configuration over separate connectivity</span><br /><img src="rzajr513.gif" alt="iSeries Navigator and Operations Console configuration over separate connectivity" /><br /></div>
</li>
<li> The PC used as a local console on a network may require an additional
network connection. iSeries Navigator requires a network connection to
the network adapter and configured <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> line
description (LIND). Operation Console will use the service network adapter
as defined by the service host name (interface name). If the network adapter
and configured <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> LIND
and the service network adapter as defined by the service host name (interface
name) are on the same network, then an additional PC LAN adapter is not needed.

<p>However, if the network adapter and configured <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> LIND
and the service network adapter as defined by the service host name (interface
name) are on separate networks, then an additional PC LAN adapter is required.</p>
