RE: System Console on a Model 150

If your 150 has a twinax controller (the Server models don't have one as
base) then a dumb terminal or anything that does plain 5250 twinax
emulation can serve as the console on Port 0 Address 0.  It' obviously
can't be any emulator that requires an APPC connection as that isn't
active when the system is in restricted state.  The 'Client Access
Console' is a feature that let's you use a PC as the console.  It
connects via a cable to the comm port on the 150 and is basically dumb
old 5250 emulation.

        Subject:        System Console on a Model 150

        I have some questions about the Model 150's system console. I
think 
        that I may be confusing it with the portable models.

        What is the system console on a Model 150? Does it *have* to be
a PC 
        or can you hook a terminal to it and call that terminal your
system 
        console? If it has to be a PC, can it be a Think Pad connected
via a 
        token ring adapter? If it has to be a PC, is there any special 
        considerations that should be known for Client Access?

        Any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated.

        Thanks,
        Mark Welte
