Table 5. Console settings and functions (continued)
Console Setting Function
Bn Enable LAN adapter in slot Cn (OPSCONSOLE
ENBLSLOT n)
Note:
This setting requires that the embedded (internal)
LAN flag is turned off and the external flag is turned on.
Otherwise, you will not see this series.
Notes:
1) Use the earlier recorded slot number to determine which Bn function must be selected. For
example, if you are using the I/O adapter in slot C2, you can select console setting B2 to
configure the location of the adapter.
2) The Bn might advance from search order rather then numerically. For example, if the search
order is C4,C3,C1, the Bn numbers might display 4 before another lower number. This is
determined by the model, and not all models are affected.
3) If A60x500D is displayed, function has timed out because the function has been entered
slowly). You have a minute to complete a 65-21-11 sequence. After you start, select the required
settings with no pauses.

Connect the console by completing the following steps:
a. Monitor the console status. After the status changes to Pending Authorization , the Service Tools
Sign-On window opens.
Note: The Service Tools Sign-On window might open behind the Operations Console window.
Resize or move the Operations Console window to locate the Service Tools Sign-On window.
b. Sign on to the Service Tools application. To sign on to the Service Tools application, enter
11111111
for the user ID and password.
c. Load the initial program and configure the system.
d. If your session does not connect, wait for the power-on process to stop on an attention or IPL
failure system reference code (SRC), such as A6005008 or B2xxxx. If the power-on stops at
A6005008, call your IBM service provider for assistance.
Note: You must configure and start an IBM i TCP interface on a second port (T2, T3, T4) before
moving the console. This action ensures that there is an alternative method to access the server.
Reset the PC to its original TCP/IP settings.
Note: The PC IP configuration must be reset before cabling the PC back to the network because the
PC is configured with the gateway IP address.
The PC and server console port (T1) can now be recabled to the network.
