Notes for Host Server Support
The IBM Network Station Manager logon support uses the host server support (that runs in subsystem QSERVER). Therefore, we suggest adding the command to start the QSERVER subsystem and the host server support to your AS/400 system startup routine (if they do not exist already).
The command STRSBS QSERVER starts the QSERVER subsystem and the command STRHOSTSVR *ALL starts the host server support.
Notes When Using Setup Assistant to Configure IBM Network Station Printers
The IBM Network Station Manager Setup Assistant TASK 4300 assists you with configuring IBM Network Station printers. However, in order to configure a printer, an entry must exist for the IBM Network Station in the BootP table (defined using TASK 4200). This is true regardless of the boot type (NVRAM or NETWORK) defined on the IBM Network Station itself.
Notes When Configuring BootP Entries on the AS/400 Boot Type Specification
Entries in the BootP table (use the Work BootP Table (WRKBPTBL) or Setup Assistant (STRNSSA) to update this table) for IBM Network Stations must specify the value IBMNSM for the boot type parameter. And, this field is case sensitive so be sure to use all upper-case characters.
Notes When Configuring BootP Entries on the AS/400 MAC Addresses Specification
The MAC address of an IBM Network Station is identified on the box in which the unit was shipped. In addition, you can display this address by viewing the hardware settings on the unit:
When entering the MAC address for an IBM Network Station into the BootP table on the AS/400 system (via the WRKBPTBL command or from the Setup Assistant menu), you must specify the MAC address separating the digits by periods rather than colons (such as 05.16.02.42.00.0A). Although this may cause some confusion, it is necessary because the BootP table uses colons as delimiters (this is not an AS/400 standard or function but rather a BootP standard format accepted by all server types using this protocol).
Note: A PTF is planned at this time which will allow you to enter the MAC address using colons and then store the MAC address using the period as the required delimiter.
Notes If Your Network Uses DHCP
If you have a server in your network that has DHCP running (such as an NT Server), you need to have your IBM Network Station default configuration changed.
To change this configuration, do the following on each of the IBM Network Stations:
