AS/400 Multiple
System
Console Program (MSCP)
with ES/Server
Full System Console Control for Multiple AS/400s
or Combination of AS/400®s and
AS/36®s
Over a TCP/IP LAN, WAN or Virtual Private Network (VPN)
With ES/Server from NLynx you can eliminate the problems of
administering the System Console function in a multiple AS/400 environment. The Multiple System Console Program (MSCP)
configuration will make System Console administration of multiple AS/400s as simple as
opening a Window on a LAN attached PC.
The System Console is typically a "dumb" twinax Display
Station attached to Port 0 / Address 0 of your AS/400 or AS/36. The System Console
is the only terminal that can:
Perform certain System Maintenance and Configuration Procedures
Execute certain type of System Backups
Respond to certain types of messages
In the multiple system environment, this requires one terminal per
AS/400. It also requires that an operator be on site to respond to the message, or
perform the particular procedure that can only be executed from the System Console.
When the operator is not on site, it usually requires a phone call or a page to a standby
operations person who would need to either travel to the office or diagnose the problem
over the phone.
ES/Server MSCP will allow these AS/400 or AS/36
"System Console Functions" to be handled from anywhere on your LAN, WAN or VPN.
This also includes dial-in to a network attached Remote Access Server (RAS) such as
a Shiva LanRover or a BOSaNOVA LanLynk. The MCSP function can also function by means of
secure internet access with the Nlynx InterLynx/S. This
eliminates the necessity of the AS/400 operator to be at the normal location for the
System Console - the computer room.
Control Multiple AS/400s from a single System Console
Control an AS/36 and AS/400 from the same System Console
- Allows upgrading from one system to a new system to be more convenient. You can
also configure additional sessions from each system, up to seven (7) from each ES/Server
Twinax Card.
Allow a local network PC to be System Console for an AS/400 at a
remote location - Improves system operation capabilities at other locations
without the need for a system operator.
Allow System Consoles to be anywhere on your LAN/WAN/VPN
Some Features of MSCP with ES/Server
Flexible Twinax connection means increased productivity.
The ES/Server solution uses a Twinax connection to the host IBM midrange system through a
gateway server PC, which means that it can support the IBM AS/400, System/36 and Advanced
Series/36. Since the server provides a single point of contact to the midrange host, there
is less configuration and operating overhead, providing better overall host performance.
Simple, intuitive installation and configuration. On the PC
side, a single protocol can be used for both LAN and host PCs, and since ES/Server is a
native Twinax gateway, it does not require the overhead and configuration complexities of
an APPC router. ES/Server supports IPX, TCP/IP, and NetBEUI between the Client PC and
Gateway, saving the user from having to configure multiple protocol stacks. And the
Emerald Series Client software installs quickly and easily, using industry-standard LAN
interfaces.
Supports most common protocols. ES/Server supports the most
common protocols, provided with Windows 95 and Windows NT support in a single solution.
Multilanguage support. Localized product for English,
French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
Hotspots identify host menu items. Host menu items and
function keys can be assigned colors. Employ this aesthetic and intuitive approach to
locate them quickly and easily, with the simple point-and-click of a mouse button.
Keystroke memory and playback (macros). Predefine
keystrokes for automated sign-on, repetitive data entry, or unattended operation. Store as
many as 2,048 keystrokes in up to 24 keyboard macros.
ETU® file transfer support. ETU, an industry standard from
NLynx Systems, allows direct file transfer between the PC and System/36, Advanced
Series/36, or AS/400.
