This is my first post on this list, and I just wanted to say that I'm extremely new to AS/400, I just started out of curiosity for the system and its architecture.
I recently got an AS/400 9406-170 with V4R2 installed. The system came with no installation disks, terminal or cables, but I was able to start in IPL Type B and connect to it over ethernet cable from a virtual terminal.
Unfortunately, while playing around with the TCP/IP settings, I accidentally deleted the TCP interface configuration, of course the connection immediately dropped and I was left without a way to connect to the system.
After some digging I was suggested to load into IPL type A, and that actually worked: the system loaded with the TCP configuration still there.
Now for my question: is it possible to somehow apply the TCP/IP configuration from Type A to Type B? If not, is it an issue if I keep working from Type A for the time being?
Thank you and please correct me if I said something that doesn't make sense. Everything is new to me, and I'm struggling to even find the right terminology to make proper google searches.Thanks!
