Solution

1. Assuming you know the name of the subsystem you can easily check this by typing

"WRKACTJOB" and then the <Enter> key.

2. Look for the subsystem; page down, if necessary. If you don't see it, type "STRSBS

ZZZ" (where ZZZ equals the name of your subsystem) and then the <Enter> key.

Note: To start a subsystem, the user must have job control (*JOBCTL) special authority.

Possible Cause 4.2.5

The network route is not up.

Solution

Make certain that the route(s) is/are up and running.

1. On the AS/400 command line, type CFGTCP followed by the <enter> key.
2. Select

the

option

Work with TCP/IP Interfaces, by typing a 1 and then <enter>.

3. Hit

the

<F11> key to Display Interface Status.

4. If it is "Inactive", use option 9 to start it.
5. If it reads "Starting", give it about a minute or so and then hit "F5" to refresh the display.

If anything else other than "Inactive" or "Starting" appears it's time to get the AS/400
administrator involved and if he or she is already involved then it's time to call IBM, or
your AS/400 Consultant.

Possible Cause 4.2.6

The Ethernet standard is not set to *ALL or the line speed setting is not correct.

Solution

If you're connecting the AS/400 via an Ethernet line there is a parameter, which may
prevent the MinIT 6000 from ‘talking’ to the AS/400. This can be checked by:

1. On the AS/400 command line, type WRKCFGSTS *LIN followed by the <enter>

key.

2. Once you locate the line you are trying to connect to, select the option Work with

Description, by typing a 8 and then <enter>.

3. Type

the

5 and then <enter> to bring up the Display.

4. Make

sure

that

Ethernet standard is set to *ALL and that the correct line speed is

displayed.

5. The line speed can be changed by hitting the<F12> key to Cancel and then selecting

option 2.

6. If you need to change Ethernet standard you will have to type CRTLINETH and

create a new line description. For this help, consult your AS/400 administrator or
IBM. You can also try the IBM publication, "Getting Your AS/400 Working for You"
(SC41-5161-00), chapter 6.

Problem 4.3

Unable to connect the MinIT 6000 to the host and the AS/400 cannot ping the
MinIT6000. The AS/400 is at the latest PTF and CUM level and is able to ping other
devices. Also, your network administrator made sure the the IP addresses are correct.
