Enterprise Console Connection Options
To launch the Enterprise Console select Windows | Start | Halcyon | Enterprise Console.
Each time the Enterprise Console is launched, the Log In dialog is displayed. The user must then enter a valid user name and associated password as defined in Enterprise Server Options. Passwords are not case sensitive.
Connecting to a different server other than the local machine
If more than one instance of Enterprise Console is installed on your network, a different server can be entered or selected at the point of log-in.
- From the Log-In dialog box, click Options >>. The Server Details options are displayed. The TCP/IP address of the currently associated server is shown as a default.
- Enter the IP address of the Server on which the required instance of Enterprise Console is installed.
- Click OK to connect.
Connection to servers on a remote network
- If the server is installed at a remote location protected by a firewall, use the additional Route option to specify the IP address of the firewall, so that the connection can be made successfully without blocking.
- Click OK to connect.
Porting Requirements
- Halcyon products use Port 15000 on IBM i to communicate between the device and the Enterprise Server.
- Add 1 to the port number for each additional environment on the same partition to which the connection is made. For example, HALPROD = Port 15000, HALTEST = Port 15001, HALDR = Port 15002, and so on.
The implications of changing the IBM i port assignment
Changing the communications port on an IBM i that communicates with any other device will also require the same change of port on the devices with which it communicates.
If you have a network of IBM i devices that previously communicated with the Enterprise Server via port 15000 and you change the port of the Enterprise Server to 15005 you must also change the port assignment on all communicating IBM i to 15005 in order for systems messages and replies to be sent and received correctly.
