TCP/IP Configuration via iSeries Navigator Subject of New Manta Course

June 19, 2007 Alex Woodie

Configuring TCP/IP on a System i server is a critical step that must be taken before you can conduct any e-business with your customers or partners. However, while almost everything on the i5/OS platform can be configured from a command line interface, some TCP/IP configuration items–notably DHCP and DNS–require the System i graphical client: iSeries Navigator. Manta Technologies recently introduced a new course covering this topic.

With Manta’s new course, called “Managing TCP/IP Using iSeries Navigator,” System i administrators can learn how to get their servers ready for the Internet. The course begins by discussing the basic configuration tasks that can be performed using either the green-screen interface or iSeries Navigator. Next, the course covers identifying the domain name servers to be used and how to update the local host table. Other items covered include how to modify global TCP/IP settings, basic TCP/IP troubleshooting, how to start and stop individual servers, and how to configure a dial-up line that uses the TCP/IP Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Along the way, users learn how to set up DHCP and DNS, which can only be done using iSeries Navigator.

The course takes three hours to complete. The price for a single-user license is $179 for CD delivery or $110 for Internet delivery. This course is also included in both the TCP/IP in the System i Environment series and the iSeries Navigator series. For more information, visit www.mantatech.com.

TL Ashford writes software to generate Barcode Labels and Forms for the IBM i.

Our software products are the most feature-rich, cost-effective solutions available!

TLAForms converts traditional IBM i spool files into high quality, professional forms that are output as PDF documents. A form is associated with a spool file and the form is designed. TLAForms then ‘watches’ the IBM i output queue for a new spool file to be generated. When a new spool file is generated, TLAForms reads the data from the spool file, places the data on the form, and outputs a PDF document. The PDF documents can be archived to the IFS, automatically emailed, and printed.

Features:

Select Data directly from an IBM i Spool File
Burst IBM i Spool Files based on page or Spool File data
Add spool file data to form as Text using a wide variety of fonts and colors (the MICR font for printing checks is included in the software)
Add spool file data to form as bar code – including 2-dimensional bar codes PDF-417 and QRCode
Configure SQL statements to retrieve and use IBM i File data on forms
Utilize Actions to show or hide objects on the form based on data within the spool file
Import Color Graphics
Use Color Overlays
Create Tables
Forms can be archived to the IFS
Forms can be emailed automatically
Forms can be printed to any IBM i, Network or Windows printer
Forms are automatically generated when a new spool file is generated in the IBM i output queue
NO PROGRAMMING required
