For example, one could do a WRKLIND and look at the resource name.

All that presupposes that the machine is currently up and running. It is not; if it were, I wouldn't be asking the question.

And it is *strictly* a LAN Console machine. *NOT* HMC. A 520 (Power 6, 8203-E4A).

We've moved it to a new office. It has not been powered up yet. In the original installation, we simply plugged both the main and console Ethernet ports into the same LAN, because that was the most viable option: there was simply no place to put a WinDoze box in the same room. The circumstances have changed: it is now very practical to put the console WinDoze box on a separate LAN. More practical than to put them on the same LAN.

And to complicate matters, I wasn't the one who unplugged the Ethernet cables. And the individual who did only marked them "top" and "bottom," which would tend to suggest that they were one directly on top of the other.

And looking at it again, I see *four* Ethernet sockets, rather than just two. Picture posted at https://flic.kr/p/2owyZ1x
