You have mentioned the "magic words" that nobody else on this thread has --
"twinax card".  As long as you're on twinax, you can end the system to a
restricted state from just about anywhere by issuing a "TFRJOB QCTL" command
prior to doing so.  The as-yet unmentioned caveat is that, if you're running
a TCP/IP connection (as most of us are these days), you cannot issue the
ENDTCP command without the twinax connection to achieve a "true" restricted
state.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I would love to be...
