Hi,
I got an IBM AS/400 a while ago and now I thought it was time to get it running.

The AS/400 has converter to RJ45 ethernet and I thought that qould be a good way to try and access it.
Supposedly I have the machines IP, the QSYSOPR login, and a user login but I haven't managed to get any response through putty.

I connected to it with a laptop which I changed the IP and subnetmask on but I couldn't even ping it.
Is there a way to make sure the IP is correct? Must I have a class-A subnet if the IP on the AS is 10.X.X.X (because I didn't try that)?

Should the small display show some specific 'code' when everything is ready to go?

I also have a terminal and some cables which I will send pictures of when I learn how to send pictures in the forum
I don't know exactly how the terminal should be connected with the cables I have. I have at least tried one way, but it didn't work.
I'm not sure the terminal is OK. No image shows up when I turn it on. Unless that is the way it should be if the cabling is incorrect.
When terminal is turned on I hear some beeps when I press keys on the terminal keyboard, but nothing happens.
