Re: How To Configure Console Address

Have you been able to do a RCLSTG or other dedicated system task from this 
one on switch 3?  Simply doing a DSPMSG QSYSOPR or some such thing doesn't 
count.
You may be able to spoof the RCLSTG by doing a TFRCTL to QCTL of that 
session.  So here's the real test - try IPLing to DST (not SST) to the 
terminal at address 3.

I've had numerous problems with twinax.  One of the redundancies you used 
to be able to build in (at least on a S/36) was to have two separate 
twinax workstation controllers  And then the one at address 0 on the first 
port out of the second controller could also be a system console in a 
pinch.  As said, I did have numerous problems with twinax and had to 
activate this once (when the whole first controller died).

But if you are simply having a terminal that up and pukes then it is much 
easier to move a working terminal into that position, change the address, 
and fire it up.
