Setting Up Your Workstation for Communication with AS/400

To set up the CA Automation Point workstation for communication with the AS/400 system

  1. Before you install AS/400 Manager, create backup copies of all the CA Automation Point files you have customized.
  2. Verify that TCP/IP is properly installed and configured on the workstation and able to communicate with the AS/400 system. To do so, open an operating system command prompt window and type one of the following commands: 
    PING hostname

    PING ip-address
  3. Configure two TN5250/TN3270 sessions to the AS/400 system. Save the sessions with the names AS400GET and AS400AUT. Optionally, configure a manual session named AS400MAN.

    To set up the workstation in a multiple AS/400 system configuration, see the section Setting Up Your Workstation When Connecting to Multiple Stand-alone Systems in this chapter.
