Appendix C: Configuring AnyNet On the AS/400

The following instructions are provided by NetManage.

1.Type the following command at the AS/400 command prompt:

CHGNETA ALWANYNET(*YES)

This value can only be changed when the AnyNet controller is varied off. Vary on the controller to make the change effective. You can check this attribute with the DSPNETA command, and page down to the bottom.

2.Type the following command at the AS/400 command prompt:

CRTCTLAPPC CTLD(controller name) LINKTYPE(*ANYNW) RMTCPNAME(same as controller name)

RMTNETID(*NETATR)

For (controller name), any name can be used. Only create one AnyNet controller per 255 users. If multiple AnyNet controllers are created, unpredictable results may occur.

For any further questions, see your AS/400 System Administrator’s User’s Guide.
