Connecting a local console to a system

 

You can connect a local console on a network to a system or directly connect a local console to a system. After you create a connection, you can connect to another system.

• Connecting a local console on a network to a system
  Connecting a local console on a network (LAN) to a system enables you to have an active console and a functional remote control panel (if configured).

• Connecting to another system
  After another connection is created, you can perform these steps to connect Operations Console to another system.

• Connecting a local console directly attached to the system
  Connecting a local console directly attached with remote access allowed enables remote consoles to connect to the system. It also allows System i™ control to be automatically granted to the first requester, or allows you to have control at the local console to handle incoming control requests.
