RE: Switch from twinax console to operations console

I'm pretty sure that our old demo box was that same model, and it was
running V5 something - I think V5r3. Still a very old release and the
accuracy statement will still hold true.

Keep in mind that machine is limited to V4 so V7R3 documentation is

not

going to be entirely accurate. (close but.....)

Hello list, this is my first post :)

I am an end user of an iSeries at work and a hobbyist programmer at

home.

I decided to buy an AS/400 on eBay and get some experience working

the

system from an administrator perspective, as well as trying out
programming in this system.

Unfortunately the system I received, a 9406-170, is configured for a
twinaxial console. I do not have one. Is there a way to switch

this

to a LAN console instead using the control panel on the front of the

machine?

Or at least a serial cable connection?

I am familiar with connecting to the iSeries with the iAccess 5250
emulator...this is what I use at work...but I do not know how to get
this going on the machine I have at home. I tried plugging it into

my

network, but as far as I can tell it is not pulling an IP address.

Is there any hope outside of sourcing a twinaxial console? Any
guidance is appreciated. Thank you.
