Re: 504 -- MIDRANGE-L

Ok the following is from the old ops console book, but it still applies:

Deactivating the communications line on AS/400
Use this section to manually deactivate the communications line on AS/400.
Your
system should be in manual mode and the extended control panel functions
activated. The extended functions are activated from when the
communications
line was activated.
To deactivate the communications line on AS/400, do the following:
1. If your system is not in manual mode, the extended functions are not
activated,
or both, follow these steps:
a. First, if your AS/400 uses a keystick, insert it in the key slot.
b. Place AS/400 into manual mode by using the system?s control panel.
c. Using the up and down buttons, select function 25. Then, press the
Enter
button.
d. Use the up button to select function 26. Then, press the Enter button.
2. Use the down button to select function 65. Then, press the Enter
button.
If the deactivation is successful, the Function/Data window responds with
D1008065.

If i remember doing this you need to do a function 66 after the 65 to
reactivate the comm card.
 pause a second or two between each function select,  don't know why but I
remember IBM support saying it was necessary.
(I think he was pulling my leg a bit on that one<g>)

One box is V5R1, the other one is V4R5. The console has worked great
(the PC with CA at my end of the cable) on both machines until I just
moved the cable from one to the other one. Now none of them work.
That is, moving it back to the one that worked (V5R1) it now longer
works on it. I'm absolutely flabbergasted. If I go with CFGPCS on
either box and select option 5 (ASYNC) it says "no hardware found
on this system".  If I go to WRKHDWRSC *CMN it says Comm
Adapter (and port) "Not detected". If I try from CA's Connections
display to verify the connection on either box it says "Connection
verified" although only one of them even has a cable. If I go
WRKDEVD *ALL, I see DSP02 (that's the one that used to work).
Option 8 (Work with status) says DSP02 "powered off or not yet
available". Option 1 to Make available results in: "DSP02 already
available".
As you can see, I'm totally mystified. No software or configuration
has changed, all I did was to unplug the cable from one box and
plug it into the other box (and eventually back again to the first box).
