differences but the essential information will still be the same.differences but the essential information will still be the same.


Choose menu option #1 and the above screen will be displayed. View the next slide for rules for this screen.


• The “LOOPBACK” entry is a standard entry and should always be present.

• If you already have TCP/IP configured and working for other applications, the second entry is probably already displayed here and no further work is needed now.

• If there is no additional entry on this screen, one must be added to identify your AS/400 and it’s IP address.

• To add an entry, type a ‘1’ and press ENTER, the screen on the following slide will appear.


This screen shows the “Change” version, but the information for your installation is the same. Look at the next slide for detail information.


• The Internet address should be the IP address for your AS/400

• The Line description is the name for your network card on your AS/400

• The Subnet mask is a default entry and the value shown on the previous slide is “normal” for most installations

• The rest of these parameters can normally take the default values as shown


Next, choose menu option 10 to display this screen:


One entry is needed for each local host that you will normallybe working with. We recommend the following as a minimum:

• Your AS/400

• Your Internet router

• Your mail server


Next, choose menu option #12 from the CFGTCP menu:


Fill in the fields on this screen as follows:

• Host name: This is the name assigned to your AS/400 as registered with the DNS. (ie: in the example screen, the AS/400 is registered as kisco.nysunburst.com, the first part of the address is entered here)

• Domain name: Enter your company’s domain name

• Host name search priority: Use *REMOTE

• Internet address: Enter at least two IP addresses for your company’s DNS servers. If you don’t know what these are, check with your ISP.


Next, choose menu option #20 to display the TCP/IP Application Configuration menu as follows:


To configure SMTP, choose menu option #12 followed by menu option #3 on the following menu to display this screen:


Check your system against the values shown here for the first panel displayed. Most installations will use these defaultvalues. Then use your roll-up function to display the secondpanel as shown here:


On this panel, enter the IP address of your mail router inthe first parameter.

Note: We recommend that you always use the numericalIP address for this parameter.

The other values on this screen can normally use thedisplayed default values.


Next, you will need to check several items in your systemdirectory. At the command line, enter the WRKDIRE command and press Enter.


From the system directory, check the following items:

• Verify that the following system user profiles are enrolled in your system: QUSER, QMSF, QSECOFR, QPGMR (and QDIRSRV if you are running OS/400 V4R4 or higher). If any of these are not in the directory, they must be added.

• Check that all user profiles for users who will be sending messages via WebReport/400 are also registered.

• If you are on OS/400 V4R1 or higher, WebReport/400 lets you send Email to direct Internet addressing. To do this, the special GATEWAY user profile must be created. Once this is set up, a special directory entry must be established.


Create the GATEWAY directory entry as follows:


Use the pattern shown on the slide for the first panel. Be sure to use the exact same settings. Where you see theword KISCO used, substitute the system name for your AS/400.

Once the first panel is set, use the roll-up function fourtimes until the “Mail service level” screen is displayed.


Set up this screen exactly as shown here.


The last step is to type the command CHGDSTA and press F4


Change the “Route to SMTP gateway” parameter on thisscreen to match the sample shown here. The lastparameter should match the second part of the directoryentry name created for your GATEWAY user profile.


Congratulations!

You are now finished with the necessary steps for TCP/IPconfiguration. We recommend that you end and restartyour Mail Server Framework (ENDMSF/STRMSF) and yourSMTP server (ENDTCPSVR *SMTP/STRTCPSVR *SMTP)before trying to use WebReport/400.
