Data encryption for a local console on a network:
To use a local console on a network, you are strongly encouraged to install
cryptographic products. For the console data to be encrypted, the iSeries server
must have one of the Cryptographic Access Provider products installed (5722-AC2
or 5722-AC3) and the PC must have one of the Client Encryption products
(5722-CE2 or 5722-CE3) installed. The table summarizes the resulting encryption
level.
iSeries Operations Console Update
The iSeries Operations Console Update CD-ROM, SK3T-4114-02 may be required to
install Operations Console. You will have been provided the CD-ROM in your box
if it is required to install Operations Console. If you did not receive the CD-ROM,
you do not need to complete the following steps.
To install the Operations Console Update, follow these steps:
1. If you are upgrading a secondary partition to OS/400 V5R2, you must upgrade
the PC to V5R2 iSeries Access for Windows prior to upgrading the operating
system of your server to V5R2.
2. Install Operations Console Update from the CD-ROM by double-clicking the
Setup.exe file.
3. Install, if applicable, the latest service pack for iSeries Access for Windows.

Depending on your configuration, you need to install a cable or card on the server.
To connect your local console directly attached to the server you must use the
correct cables. To connect a local console on a network you need a LAN card.
This table lists the Operations Console cards and cables that you need to have
available for your setup.
