Setting Up Your Workstation When Connecting to Multiple Stand-alone Systems

To set up a workstation to connect to multiple standalone systems, follow this procedure:

  1. Verify that TCP/IP is 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
  2. Configure two sessions to the AS/400 system. Save the sessions with the names you prefer (for example, SYS2GET and SYS2AUT). One is the alerts session, the other the automation session. Optionally, you can configure a manual session also. You may choose to define these sessions as connection type TN5250 or TN3270.
