Client Access on as400 & PC questions

[abacuscorp]

We have Client Access on the as400 that came with OS400. In order to communicate with the 400 from a remote PC location over the internet; Do we need another PC version of Client Access? All help would be appreciated.

Need more information.

What version of OS?
What version of Client Access?
Is this through a VPN, straight internet, or something else?
How secure do you want it?

Thanks for the reply.
The as400 is a model 620 running V4R5.
We have client access on the 400 that came with os400.
We have not bought a PC version yet.
Straight internet.
Very secure

CAE (Client Access Express) the PC client is on your system right now if you have CAE. With NetServer running (STRTCPSVR SERVER(*NETSVR)) Go to \\myas400\QCA400\Win32\Install\Image\. Otherwise call your BP (Business Partner) they can get you a copy on CD. If you are licensed on the server, the "PC Software" is free, IIRC.

You can do SSL for CAE. Here is an article to kick-start you

I will warn you, this can be a complicated process. As far as internet access, you will have to punch a couple holes (23 and/or 993) through your firewall to log on or figure out how to setup and use VPN.
