Appendix I Remote Access (Tunneling) (continued)
I-2 Local iSeries -EIT/-C4EIT
1.An IP address should be assigned to the iServer dynamically or statically (recommended).
2.Use a browser to access the Local iServer’s WEB page. Simply type the iServer’s IP address at the browser’s URL location (i.e. 192.168.1.49) followed by an Enter key. You should then see the iServer’s main WEB page.
3.Click on the OK button after entering the LOGIN password.
4.Click on NETWORK page, you will be prompted with a Password (default is 00000000).
5.On the SERIAL page, under Serial Port section (see Figure 4.6 or 4.7), make sure the parameters: Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, and Flow Control match with your attached serial device and its application software.
6.Under Packing Techniques section (see Figure 4.8), make sure to set the End Character (Hex) to 00 and the Buffering Time to 0.
7.Under
Set Retry Counter to anything more than 0 and set the Retry Timeout to a desired value.
If the tunneling connection between the two iServers goes down due to network problems, power failure, etc., the Sequential connection type option will enable the Local iServer to reconnect with the Remote iServer based on the specified time interval in the Retry Timeout.
For example, based on a timeout of 10000 (10 seconds), the Local iServer will continually attempt to reconnect and reestablish the tunnel with the Remote iServer every 10 seconds.
