I once had a similar experience. On a port, i was limited to 2 device. If more that 2 were pluged, only the first 2 that got turned on had access. The cause was a faulty workstation controler that got damage after an electrical storm.

My twinax port 0 cabling looks like this: Console (3180 display) at address 0 Printer (Anzac 5080) at address 1 Printer (Anzac 3017) at address 2 The above is also the _physical_ cabling device order. I set this new printer to address 3 and tried to physically cable it in between the 2 existing printers on port 0. All 3 devices were powered off during these attempts. It wouldn't work. When I would power the console back on, there was no display. Doing a WRKCFGSTS at another display showed the console as SIGNON DISPLAY, but the console screen was blank. I didn't even try the 2 existing printers. No print device was autoconfigured for the new printer. It was as if the twinax card in the new printer was DOA or something. This morning I tried something different. I had an open port (port 7) on the AS/400 with no devices on it. I ran a cable from this port on the AS/400 to the new printer and powered it on. The AS/400 autoconfigured it just as I expected, device type 4234 address 3. I have not tried recabling it into the port 0 string where I really want it. Has anyone seen this? Is there some restriction on port 0 (other than address 0 for the console) that I evidently don't know about? Is this new printer so new that it won't coexist on the same port with that ancient 3180 and Anzac printers? <g> Will the AS/400 not autoconfigure on port 0? Thanks for any help. -- -Jeff jlcrosby@fwi.com +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
