Course Description: This class examines the fundamentals of TCP/IP as it applies to the AS/400. Topics range from common addressing and routing to those specific to the AS/400, such as CGI programming and Net.Data. Complete configuration of the AS/400 is discussed including TCP/IP popular services and the AS/400 Web Server.
Audience: Programmers and administrators
Prerequisites: Significant experience in AS/400 system operations. Experience in AS/400 programming and data communications is desirable.
