Configuring the service tools server using SST

To enable the service tools server with the service interface, complete these steps.

1. From the system service tools (SST) display, select option 8 (Work with service tools user IDs and Devices) and press Enter.
2. From the Work With Service Tools User IDs and Devices display, select option 4 (Configure service tools LAN adapter) and press Enter. You might get an error message that indicates that there is no valid hardware.
   Note: If you use the same port (for example, gigabit adapter) for the Service Tools Server that is used for TCP/IP, ensure that you end TCP/IP using the End TCP/IP (ENDTCP) command and vary off the TCP/IP line description before configuring the Service Tools Server (STS). Only gigabit adapters can be shared.

   Note: If you receive a message that indicates no resource is available or it is the wrong type, you have not satisfied the hardware requirements for the service interface. This might indicate that you have not set the console tag yet or the resource is busy with the IBM® i operating system. Press F13 for Select STS LAN adapter and select a resource. If the list is empty, press F21 to display resources already in use. You can configure a busy resource but it should not be activated using F14 unless you can vary off the line from the IBM i operating system, otherwise an IPL is required.
3. From the Configure Service Tools LAN Adapter display, enter the TCP/IP information. Press F1 (Help) for the type of information required in each field.
4. Press F7 (Store) to save your changes.
5. Press F14 (Activate) to activate the adapter.
