As Roberto suggests, you may want to review the requirements for setting up LAN console on the information center.

Suggestion: Since this location does not seem to be all that concerned with security, you might suggest very simple passwords for the LAN Console device etc, and make all the passwords the same, that way you only have one to remember. They can always make it more secure later.

Just a silly question but you do have the QSECOFR profile password for
DST, right? If not you may be in for a real bad time.

To answer your question directly, I would change your plans. ( the
tavern is gonna come after the fun )
