Command and Graph Interface

System i Navigator is a powerful Graphical User Interface (GUI) that provides an explorer-like view of system resources. 

The integration of System i Navigator with the Windows client desktop is an advantage for administrators and operators as well as end users who do not have an extensive knowledge of Control Language (CL) commands.

System i Navigator has been available since V3R1M1 of Client Access for Windows 95. Continuous enhancements have been made to the application to support other 32-bit windows clients and also to include additional functions such as Database, File Systems and so on.

You need the System Configuration (known as Configuration and Services in the hierarchical tree of System i Navigator) to view a list of hardware (including the operational status) and software (installed product or supported product) on the system. 

Fixes (PTFs) management and Collection Services are also available under this category if the Management Central component is installed.

You use the Network function to work with the TCP/IP configuration as well as configure and manage new communication interfaces (PPP, SLIP) using wizards. It also allows you to work with both TCP/IP servers and System i Access host servers.

The Security function provides a security wizard that runs through a set of questions and generates a security recommendation based on your answers. 

You can also manipulate security and auditing system values.
