3. You are now connected to the appliance via UMS. Complete documentation on

how to use UM Services is included on the IBM xSeries 150 Documentation CD. In
additional to the standard UM Services functionality, your xSeries applaince
includes additional functionality, available from the Applainces tab in the UM
Services console. The default view when you connect to your appliance the
Terminal Services panel, which displays a Windows 2000 Terminal Services Web
Connection page. To connect to the appliance to manage it as though you were
running Terminal Services Client from your desktop:

the default username/password combination.

IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility

The IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility aids in setting up and
reconfiguring the network configuration on your xSeries appliance servers. The
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent, preinstalled on your IBM xSeries
appliance, works with the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console, a Java-
based application that is installed on a network-attached system that will be used as a
systems management console that enables you to automatically detect the presence of
xSeries appliances on the network. Once the xSeries appliance is detected by the
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console, use the Advanced Appliance
Configuration Utility to set up and manage the appliance’s network configuration,
including assigning the IP address, default gateway, network mask, and DNS server
to be used by the appliance. You can also use the Advanced Appliance Configuration
Utility to start Universal Manageability Services (UM Services) on the appliance,
enabling you to perform more advanced systems management tasks.

Networks that are not currently running DHCP servers will find the Advanced
Appliance Configuration Utility particularly useful for automatically configuring
network settings for newly added appliance servers. However, networks with DHCP
servers will benefit from using the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility as it
enables the systems administrator to reserve and assign the appliance IP address in an
