Troubleshooting About This document contains solutions to problems that one might encounter when installing or operating the MinIT 6000. To connect to the host, you must know the IP Address of your AS/400 and be on the same network as your AS/400. 1. MinIT6000 Configuration Problems These are problems that can occur during the initial configuration. Problem 1.1 The light on the MinIT 6000 is orange. Solution Push the light to turn the power on. Problem 1.
• If you manually selecting an IP Address and the information is incorrect, type in the correct IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. • If you are using DHCP and have not obtained a valid DHCP address, Make certain that the network DHCP Server is running. 4. If the TCP/IP information is correct, make certain that you can ping the AS/400. • Click on the Ping IP Address button. • Enter in the IP address of the AS/400 and click on the Ping button. 5.
1. Open the connection Manager. 2. Select the configure tab. 3. Double-click on the session that does not come up. 4. Correct the name that is wrong or duplicated. Problem 1.8 The light on the MinIT 6000 is green. The host session is black, with no cursor and I have verified that I am using a legal name with less than 9 letters and numbers. Cause This could happen if the IP address of the AS400 host is set wrong in the MinIT 6000.
First, ping the MinIT 6000 from the AS/400: 1. Go to any command line, where it says: Selection or command ===> 2. Type PING '###.###.###.###' (where ###.###.###.### is the IP address that you are trying to reach, enclosed in single quotes) 3. You will get a message: "Verifying connection to host system ###.###.###.###". Put your cursor on that message and ROLL UP (which is the Page Down key in some of the better emulation packages). 4. If it says: " PING reply 1 from ###.###.###.### took 59 ms. 256 bytes.
3. Perceived 5250 Host Problems The first problems in this category are for when there are other users who have Telnet sessions working. Problem 3.1 You do not know the IP Address of the AS/400. Solution You will need access to the AS/400's command line from another terminal device or your system administrator to provide you with the correct IP address for the AS/400 that you want to connect to. For those that don't know, or would like to know the AS/400 command is as follows: 1.
back on. You can do this from the same MinIT 6000 if you create a new session, using the same IP address, but a different name. To restart the original device, on an AS/400 command line: 1. Type WRKCFGSTS *DEV oldname followed by the key. 2. Type WRKCFGSTS *DEV yourdevice and then . 3. to oldname 4. Put the cursor on the line to the left of your device and select option 2 to vary off and then select 1 to vary back on.
4. Verify the IP address. If it is correct, verify that the AS400 Ethernet line is active. To do so, type WRKLIND. The Ethernet line has a "Type" *ELAN. Find it and select option 8=Work with status to verify an Active status. Possible Cause 4.2.2 Telnet is not running because the Telnet or the Virtual Device Server may not be running. Solution First Verify that TELNET is set to begin when the AS/400 is powered up. 1. On the AS/400 command line, type CFGTCP followed by the key. 2.
Solution 1. Assuming you know the name of the subsystem you can easily check this by typing "WRKACTJOB" and then the 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 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. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Possible Cause 4.3.1 There is a network problem caused by the routing tables in one of the network bridges or routers. Solution 1. Recreate the Ethernet line. Do not override the MAC address. 2. Check the routing tables and/or reset the bridges and routers. Possible Cause 4.3.2 One of the network devices or networked nodes is improperly configured. Solution 1. Try to ping the AS/400 by typing on the command line PING 'x.x.x.x', where x = IP address of your MinIT6000. 2.
Possible Cause 4.4.2 Improper configuration of the subsystem used for the virtual devices. Solution Our product emulates different IBM terminals depending on the color and width selection. For 132 wide configurations, the MinIT6000 emulates an IBM 3477 terminal. For monochrome 80 wide, it emulates a 5251. For 80 wide color configuration it emulates 3179. This means your subsystem (typically, QINTER) must allow a 3179. To verify this: 1.
Solution You must delete the session on the MinIT 6000 and re-create it with a different name or delete the other printer from the AS/400. Problem 5.2 When you try to start a printer session, it pops up with a message: “The connection request has been rejected by the host”. Possible Cause 5.2.1 Using Host Print Transform but the Host Print Transform Name is not valid. Solution The name must have the splat (asterisk) *, in front of it. You must use a manufacturer and Model that is supported by your AS/400.
