Installing and Conﬁguring

The Remote Library Manager Console feature can use one of two communication

protocols to establish communications between the remote (controlling workstation)

console and the 3494 (target workstation) library manager. Toestablish

communications between the remote library manager console and the 3494, the

communications protocol

and

LAN adapter protocol

support must be properly

conﬁgured. Conﬁguration is handled by the installation program, which is on the

Remote Library Manager Console feature disk. Review the Remote Library

Manager Console feature installation instructions to understand the following:

vHow the remote library manager console and 3494 library communications are

integrated

vHow the names and addresses are used to conﬁgure the communications

protocol

Starting DCAF on the Remote Library Manager Console

Starting DCAF on the remote library manager console automatically causes DCAF

to start on the library manager. Tostart the remote library manager console

program, do the following steps:

1. Start the Communications Protocol on the remote (controlling workstation)

console.

2. Choose the Distributed Console Access Facility group. (See Figure151.)

3. Choose DCAF Controller (See Figure 152.)

After the IBM logo is displayed, the controlling main window appears. (See

Figure 153 on page 243.)
