Cant find system consule - IPL OK

["David Bulog" <d2ba@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I have a wee problem with my Model 500 V3R7.
I swapped my 3197c dumb terminal for a smaller 3196 dumb terminal
and the first IPL gave a SRC A900-2000 (Console error) I switched to manual
and powered down.

Found the twinaxe  cable was faulty and swapped the cable ;
IPLs OK 01 B normal mode. but cant find the system console (the cursor on
the dumb terminal is flashing in bottom left hand corner which proves I have
a good connection.
Tried all the address settings 0 - 6 and all eight ports on the junction
box. to no avail.

I'm sure that the new 3196  dumb terminal  is working as it passes every
test in the handbook; I seem to recall I had a similar problem when I first
purchased the machine and tried to set up the 3197c dumb terminal ; It got a
sign on screen when I set the second session to address 1 (Port 0)
This time its not so simple.any ideas welcome as to why my trusty AS/400 is
playing games with me.?
Thanks in advance
Dave
