This class is designed to teach the basics of the Internet Connection for AS/400 (IC/400) and allow you to set up your own World Wide Web (WWW) site using your AS/400. It assumes you are using V3R2 of OS/400 with the TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities/400 (5763-TC1) installed and configured. (Other assumptions)

The symbols and will help you navigate through the class.

This class assumes the following:

1. That the students have a good understanding of the basic components of TCP/IP and the AS/400. This class does not cover TCP/IP configuration and operation, for example, and will assume that the student can do basic TCP/IP tasks such as copying a file between the AS/400 and a PC via FTP.
2. V3R2 of OS/400
   • The GA CUM PTF package C6144320
   • The GA CUM+1 PTF package C6165320
3. The anonymous FTP lab requires PTF SF31879 for 5763-TC1 to be installed. This PTF allows the AS/400 FTP server to change the namefmt to 1 when the first directory command comes from the client with a leading '/' (slash).
4. TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities/400 (5763-TC1, a free LPP that comes with your purchase of OS/400) is loaded and configured. Note: the Internet Connection for AS/400 is a part of the TCP/IP Connecitivity Utilities/400.
5. 5763-PW1 Application Development ToolSet/400
6. 5763-RG1 ILE RPG/400 - RPG/400
7. 5763-WP1 OfficeVision/400
8. The program examples of this class are found in the ITSOIC400 library that comes with the redbook Cool Title About AS/400 and Internet (SG24-4815-01). For some of the demonstrations and labs to function properly the AS/400 library ITSOIC400 and directories /class and /itsoic.400 must be restored to your AS/400. Also, HTTP configuration on the AS/400 must be complete in order to properly serve the HTML and programs found in this class. This HTTP configuration source can be found in ITSOIC400/HTTPCFG.HTTPCFG.

   The 'broken' versions of the ITSO Company web demo program can be found in library ITSOICMST and directory /ITSOIC.MST. This 'broken' version is used in the student lab portion of this class as the students must fix and repair the ITSO Company application into working order.
