Connecting a local console directly attached without remote access allowed

This topic explains how to connect a local console that is directly attached without remote access allowed to a server allows remote consoles, through dial-up support, to access and control the server.

1. Open Operations Console to start the connection:
   1. Click Start and select Programs.
   2. Select IBM iSeries™ Access for Windows.
   3. Click Operations Console.

      By default, Operations Console does not automatically try to connect a local console that is directly attached to a server.

2. If you did not select Start connection when Operations Console starts in Properties, you need to connect to the server as follows:
   1. Select the configuration name.
   2. From the Connection menu, click Connect.
