Re: IPL Error

[Keith Carpenter <carpcon@xxxxxxx>]

That leaves the address (switch setting) which must also be 0.

If you check the device description for your terminal (ie. dspdevd 
dsp01), it should read...
Port number  . . . . . . . . . . . :   0
Switch setting . . . . . . . . . . :   0

Most terminals no longer use switches to set the twinax address. 
Instead, they are configured in software.  Typically you power the 
terminal up with the space bar depressed.  If you're not sure, post the 
make/model of your terminal.
