Re: How To Configure Console Address

The "primary reason" for address 0 on port 0 is to do
the "manual IPL". It is fairly rare to do a "manual"
and many folks have never/rarely seen the machine in a
"restricted state".

If you need the services of CE, then he would generally
ask where the "console"(address 0,port 0) is so that he
can perform his set of programs and diagnostics.

It would be wise to have some device attached to 0/0.

Hi, Rob:

Thanks for the response. I gather from what you said, and my experience,
that "IPLing to DST" is a rare event but if I need to do it that will
probably *not* be the time to be futzing around with relocating consoles.
