iSeries
Navigator
is
the
graphical
user
interface
for
managing
and
administering
your
system
from
your
Windows
desktop.
iSeries
Navigator
makes
operation
and
administration
of
systems
easier
and
more
productive.
Operations
Console
lets
you
use
a
local
or
remote
PC
to
access
and
control
a
System
i
console,
a
control
panel,
or
both.
Operations
Console
enables
connections
or
console
activities
across
a
local
area
network
(LAN),
along
with
enabling
directly
cabled
connections.
A
single
PC
can
have
multiple
connections
to
multiple
systems
and
can
be
the
console
for
multiple
systems.
An
example
is
having
a
logically
partitioned
system
using
the
same
PC
as
the
console
for
all
partitions.
Because
each
partition
is
considered
a
separate
system,
you
need
a
separate
connection
to
the
partition
for
which
you
want
to
use
the
console.
Operations
Console
allows
multiple
connections
to
a
single
system,
but
only
one
PC
can
have
control
of
the
system
at
a
time.
Based
on
the
Operation
Console
connectivity,
you
can
have
one
of
these
methods
of
configuration:
v
If
the
PC
uses
Operation
Console
as
a
local
console
directly
attached
to
the
server,
a
network
connection
for
iSeries
Navigator
is
required.
To
complete
the
iSeries
Navigator
connection,
the
system
needs
a
network
adapter
and
a
configured
i5/OS
line
description
(LIND).
Operations
Console
is
connected
over
a
serial
cable
attached
to
an
asynchronous
card
on
the
System
i
platform.
iSeries
Navigator
is
connected
through
a
LAN
adapter
on
the
System
i
platform.
The
PC
communicates
to
Operations
Console
through
its
communication
port
while
communicating
with
iSeries
Navigator
through
the
LAN
connectivity.
v
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
i5/OS
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
i5/OS
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.
This
is
illustrated
in
the
following
figure.
