Ringdale Minit 5250E - Manual (Page 40)

PROBLEM: When you try to ping the AS/400, it responds on 5 of 5. The AS/400 can ping the
MinIT 5250E, too. Your AS/400 is at the latest PTF and CUM level and can ping other devices.
Your Network Administrator made certain the IP addresses are correct. You recreated the
Ethernet line and restarted all routers. But it still will not bring a session up.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Your AS/400 is not set up for enough virtual devices.
SOLUTION: WRKSYSVAL work with system values
QAUTOVRT
(how many virtual devices) make certain that you allow enough virtual devices
configured.
PROBLEM: The MinIT 5250E can successfully ping the AS/400 but you're still not getting a
session from the AS/400.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: One of the networked devices or networked nodes is improperly
configured.
SOLUTION: The next step here is to see if the AS/400 can successfully ping the MinIT 5250E.
On an AS/400's command line, type "PING 'x.x.x.x'" where x = IP address of the MinIT 5250E
in question. If the PING from the AS/400 to the MinIT 5250E is unsuccessful then try Pinging
the network side of the router. If you can PING it but not the Ethernet side of the router then
there's probably something wrong with the configuration of the router. If you cannot PING
the network side of the router then there's probably something wrong with the TCP/IP
configuration on the AS/400. Specifically, the route configuration or the subnet mask on the
AS/400 could be wrong but it could be something else. It is recommended that you consult
your AS/400 Administrator, your AS/400 Consultant, IBM, or the IBM book. The name of the
book is called "Getting Your AS/400 Working for You". Publication number is SC41-5161-00.
Related information is in Chapter 6.
PROBLEM: You can ping the AS/400 from the MinIT 5250E and the AS/400 can ping the
MinIT 5250E, but the session never starts. The light on the MinIT 6000 is green. The does not
connect to the host.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The MinIT 5250E supports ‘Enhanced Telnet 5250’ or TN5250E. The
main feature that TN5250E provides is Persistent LU naming, which is where the name that
you provide when you set each MinIT 5250E session up is the one that the AS/400 sees for
your session.
Two possible problems that can occur:
Certain names are invalid. If another TCP/IP client uses a name it cannot be used.
The AS/400 will either have this enabled or not.
SOLUTION:
You cannot use a name that someone else is using.
Blanks are not allowed within the name.
You cannot use spaces or dashes or any other character than letters or numbers.
Case is ignored.
There is a maximum of nine characters.
Because most system-supplied objects on this system begin with Q, your names should not
start with a Q.
