RE: How do you find a resource name for a DEVD?

Since we seem to be at the point of speculation, let me throw mine in too. I
am not familiar with this device, but:

1) In a former life as a mainframe guy, I learned that a terminal control
unit has memory on it, and it is possible to exceed the capacity of the
installed memory depending on what you were trying to do with the
controller. i.e. Is it possible that the hardware and/or software
configuration of your 2746 is such that it freaks out when you put too many
terminals on it, even though you are way under the limit? For example,
running a bunch of terminals at 25x132 would take more control unit
resources than a bunch of them at 25x80. Also it took more memory to support
PC file transfers. etc etc etc.

2) Is it possible to update the microcode on the controller, and do you have
the latest stuff loaded?

3) Have you applied any PTFs and/or hipers that may be applicable to 2746?

4) I second the idea of taking all the devices off and then adding them back
on one at a time to see when everything goes awry.

5) This is really grasping at straws, but isn't there something about the
machine pool having to be a certain size to support the amount of hardware
you have hooked up? Could this terminal be the straw breaking the camel's
back?

Thanks for the suggestions but they have not solved it.  I tried another
terminal, the console terminal, changed the address from 0 to 4 and when I
signed on down went two existing terminals on switches 0 and 3.  I even
connected it right to the Superstar Express repeater instead of going
through a patch panel.  So I have ruled out the device and patch panel
cabling.
