Hello everyone! -Deva

Edit by Paul: Here is a Step by step Guide to connecting to Zeus From Home:

   1. Go to the ACS seneca web page: https://acs.senecac.on.ca/pages/index.php
   2. Go to download / type information that is needed to log in.
   3. Go to the iSeries Link, and Download IBM Client Access Version5 R4 (ISO image file)
   4. Once completed either burn the disc and install that way, or use a free trail version of
      daemon tools, its a little hard to find the download link but it comes with 20days free (I
      choose the lite version.
   5. Once installed go to your start menu and Click IBM iSeries Access for Windows unless you have
      changed it, then go to sublink Emulator, and click start or Configure Session.
   6. One the new window pops up click NEW Session
   7. A window should pop up, their you can click properties and in the first box type: zeus.senecac.on.ca
      
   8. Now to set your UserID just click thedrop box and choice the 3rd option "Use Default UserId, and prompt
      as needed", then type your userId
      not your learn id, but the userId handed out during class.
   9. Once this is set up you can connect.

In addition to the written instructions above I located this online video for loading the Client Access portion.

IMPORTANT NOTE, Remember your password needs to be in CAPS.

Awesome job Paul! I'm not sure if you're password needs to be in caps - it shouldn't be case sensitive. I type so automatically, that I don't pay attention. Does anyone else have a comment?

Lab 2

The rdp.iso file which is 937MB contains a version of LAUNCHER.EXE which is not supported on a PC running Win7 or Vista OS. This is according to The IBM website. Down load the version from acs.senecac.on.ca. It has a file size of 1.18GB. You may have trouble running launcher with by double clicking the EXE file. You must have admin rights AND you must right click the EXE file and run as administrator. The program will take about 30 seconds to load when running off a DVD drive.

Down load the activation program from the ACS server also.
