Jerry,

What do you see when you run DSPDEVD for these twinax devices. I suspect
that the ethernet/twinax converter is either configured as a remote
workstation controller, or it's reporting each of these devices as *LAN
attached devices.

RE: Twinax Device Addresses






When I GO HARDWARE and run " 2. Work with local workstation resources," I
see two controllers: CTL03 and CTL05. But there's only one "loon" (brick)
coming out of the back of the 520. There are five [5] of these old twinax
dot matrix printers; they are all used (to varying degrees) and all of
them show up when I run WRKCFGSTS *DEV.

When I run PRTDEVADR against CTL03, I get a message that " Controller
CTL03 not found" (CPF2602). My set-up is identical to that described by
Loyd.

I know that there are two printers configured for Port 1 because I looked
at their configuration. This whole question started, in fact, because I
had to swap these printers out yesterday, and I was looking for an unused
address on the port that I could use temporarily for one of them so I
could change the configuration without having to muck around with those
DIP switches.

Thanks.

Do you have multiple Twinax controllers?

We still have a few twinax line printers here. They are connected to the
System i via an Ethernet patch panel; the twinax control is connected to
the
panel with a balun and Ethernet cable.

Pretty rudimentary stuff, I think. My question is: Why, when I run the
PRTDEVADR command these printers do not show up? In fact, the only thing
that shows up in the list is the old system console at port 0 address 0.
