In order to participate in the hands-on labs, you must have a laptop PC with the following hardware and software:

• Minimum 100 mhz processor (200 mhz processor recommended for the Java lab)
• 128 MB memory minimum (256 MB memory recommended for the Java lab)
• TCP/IP installed/configured
• 10/100 mbps RJ45 ethernet connection
• 5250 emulation software that works over TCP/IP (either Client Access Express, or a 5250 emulator that does not require any additional software on the iSeries), configured to connect to AS400A at IP address 10.1.0.1 and AS400B at IP address 10.1.0.2.

The cable connecting your laptop PC to the network will have a male RJ45 connector to connect to your PC. Some of the older Ethernet adapters also terminate with a male RJ 45 connector. If your Ethernet connection has a male RJ45 connector, you will need to bring a male RJ45 to male RJ45 inline connector.

The network connection from your laptop PC to the iSeries will be through a 10/100 Ethernet switch and the IP addresses for your laptop PC will be administered from the iSeries.

If your laptop PC is running Windows/NT, Windows/2000 or Windows/XP, you MUST have a User ID and password that has Administrator authority for your laptop. Even if your laptop is already setup for DHCP, you should have this User ID and password in case any additional changes are necessary.

We will have people who can assist you with the network setup, but it is not possible to provide this assistance if the required ID and password are not available. Ultimately it is the responsibility of the attendee to be able to configure their laptop PC for lab use. There will be an information sheet and technical assistance available to help with lab set up on Sunday June 15, 2003 during the on site conference registration from Noon to 5:00 pm.

We are planning to have 50 seats in the conference lab classroom that will be available on a first-come first-serve basis, with priority given to those people who attend the prerequisite lecture elective session(s) prior to the lab. The actual number of seats available will be dependent on total conference enrolment and the lab classroom provided by the Registry hotel.

If you have questions regarding the hardware or set-up requirements, please send an email note to debbiem@tramenco.com. We will try our best to respond to you within 2 business days.

If you have any questions regarding the conference please call us at 1- 800-897-5923, send a fax to 1-973-948-4178, or send an email note to debbiem@tramenco.com.
