iSeries Connection Configuration Utility

The iSeries Connection Configuration Utility is used to define connections to each iSeries, eServer™ i5, or System i5® host that will use the data transfer function. The connection definitions are saved in an .NDC file in ASCII format.

You can use this utility for TCP/IP connections.

For more information on Data Transfer see Data Transfer.

To use the utility, click Start → Programs → HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows → Utilities → iSeries Connection Configuration; the resulting iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 configuration screen has the following options:

Show IP Host Connections: Click this button to display and configure IP connections to the iSeries, eServer i5, or System i5 host.
Add: Click the type of connection and then click Add. Enter the Host name and Alias in the resulting dialog box.
Modify: Select a host name from the connection list, and then click Modify to edit the Host name and the Alias in the .NDC file.
Remove: Select a host name from the connection list, and click Remove to delete this connection definition from the .NDC file.
Note: When disabling a connection, if you want to preserve the connection definition but disable the connection, clear the checkbox next to the name in the connection list.
