RE: No signon screen

Force DST using function 21 on the control panel.  If that gives you a DST 
signon screen (and you can signon somewhere else) you can delete DSP01 and copy 
QCONSOLE to DSP01.  Or you can IPL in manual to force QCONSOLE and then copy it 
to DSP01.

If Autocfg is on you should also be able to delete all of your DSP* devices and 
it should autocreate after an IPL.  BTW, the cursor on the right indicates that 
you've lost you connection to the system, when the cursor moves to the left the 
connection has been re-established.

Do you have an A900 2000 (or any other SRC) displayed on the control panel?

subject: No signon screen

I have a model 720, V5R2M0 that I am about to scratch and reinstall the 
OS on (as soon as I figure out how to do that), but I am a little 
concerned that I don't currently get a signon screen on a 3476 terminal 
that is attached.  I get the cursor moving from the right to left.  A 
device description is created, the status goes to Varied ON, and the 
controller becomes active, but I never get a signon screen.  Before I 
torch this thing I want to make sure I'll get a console and a signon.

I tried different terminals (I have three) and a couple of different 
cables, but still no luck.

This is a hand-me-down machine but I know that the controller and 
terminal worked.

Currently I access the machine using telnet but that won't work once I 
scratch install .

The Twinax controller is CTL02. Cable is in Port 0. Address on the 
terminal is 0.  No messages are sent to Qsysopr....what am I missing?
