To begin using iSeries™ Navigator for Wireless, establish a connection to the central system. Enter the URL of your central system into your wireless device.
When pointing your device to the URL on your central system, use the following format. Carefully specify the end of the URL...
/servlet/McYpvPervasive...exactly as shown...
host.domain:port/servlet/McYpvPervasive

Internet-ready telephone layout
If you have successfully connected to your central system, the first thing you see when using iSeries Navigator for Wireless on an Internet-ready telephone is the summary. It shows you how current the information is, how many systems are in your list, how many monitors you have running, and how many tasks you have run in the last 24 hours. It also tells you if any item needs attention by showing an overall status of OK or Attention at the top of your display.
If OK is shown, all of your systems, monitors, and tasks are running smoothly.
If Attention is shown, a system, monitor, or task needs more attention. If a system is unavailable or if a monitor or task has failed, an exclamation point is shown next to the item that needs attention. If a monitor has been triggered, a bell is shown next to Monitors.
For telephones that do not support graphics, an asterisk is shown instead of a bell.
PDA browser layout
The personal digital assistant (PDA) browser layout is similar to the Internet-ready telephone. When you first use iSeries Navigator for Wireless, a summary is displayed, as well as the number of systems that are unavailable, the number of monitors that failed or were triggered, and the number of tasks that have failed. Because some compatible browsers do not support graphics, an asterisk (*) is used instead of a bell when the device displays a triggered status.
Traditional browser layout
The traditional browser layout is exactly the same as the PDA browser layout. However, because of the increased display size, it looks more basic. To make better use of desktop space, you can put a small browser window in the corner of your PC to take advantage of Management Central functions while working with other applications. If you are using a traditional Internet browser on your PC, you can select Show all from the main menu to display all information on a full browser window.
After you have successfully connected to your system, you might want to customize your connection and begin managing iSeries Navigator for Wireless.
