To
change
from
an
Operations
Console
to
a
twinaxial
console,
you
must
perform
steps
on
the
system
and,
optionally,
on
the
PC.
Most
system
plans
include
a
level
of
redundancy
to
allow
for
the
event
of
hardware
failures;
however,
many
people
do
not
consider
the
console
in
their
plans.
To
recover
quickly
from
an
unexpected
loss
of
your
console,
you
need
to
plan
for
a
backup
console.

Operations
Console
software
requirements:
You
need
to
meet
these
software
requirements
for
working
with
Operations
Console.
Before
you
continue,
make
sure
that
you
have
satisfied
the
Operations
Console
hardware
requirements
according
to
your
intended
configuration.
Operations
Console
is
supported
on
Windows
2000
Professional,
and
Windows
XP
Professional.
The
iSeries
Access
for
Windows
versions,
for
both
the
local
console
and
the
remote
console,
must
be
at
the
same
level
for
proper
operation
of
Operations
Console.
PC5250
or
IBM
Personal
Communications
V5.8
(or
V5.7
with
CSD
1)
needs
to
be
installed
for
the
console
only.
It
is
not
required
for
remote
control
panel
only
configurations.
Note:
If
you
run
any
software
that
enables
SOCKS
on
your
PC
(the
PC
accesses
the
Internet
through
a
firewall,
such
as
Microsoft
®
Proxy
Client,
Hummingbird
®
SOCKS
Client,
NEC
SOCKS
5,
or
others),
you
cannot
route
the
subnet
for
192.168.0.0
to
the
firewall.
Operations
Console
uses
addresses
in
the
range
of
192.168.0.0
to
192.168.0.255.
Incorrect
routing
causes
Operations
Console
to
fail.
Check
your
SOCKS
configuration
and
make
sure
that
the
entry
is:
Direct
192.168.0.0
255.255.255.0
Data
encryption
for
a
local
console
on
a
network
To
use
a
local
console
on
a
network,
you
are
strongly
encouraged
to
install
cryptographic
products.
This
support
may
be
a
separate
product
or
it
may
be
available
from
another
source.
Use
the
strongest
encryption
available
for
the
best
security.
