To start the administrative console on a workstation, perform these steps:

1. Open this URL in your browser:

    http://your.server.name:port/admin

   where your.server.name is the host name of the iSeries server on which the application server of the deployment manager is running, and port is the administrative console port as noted in the ready message in the joblog of the application server of the deployment manager. For the default Network Deployment instance, the administrative console port is 9090.

   Note: The user ID does not need to be an OS/400 user profile. This user ID is used only to track which users make changes to the application server configuration.
