3196 Terminal Setup

Asked by: royaltech

Real simple but I forgot, how do you go into setup to change the address for the 3196 terminal, I can do the setup from power on and play with the keyboard, but how do you get to the other screens of configuration?

Thanks

hmm, I set it to 0 and -- just like another terminal I have here, and it still won't come up as the master console, if all the cabiling is correct, what else could it be as far as configuration?

Thanks

 

by: _b_hPosted on 2008-04-03 at 16:02:55ID: 21277749

Is the cursor on the upper left or upper right?
Is auto-configuration on? Use WRKSYSVAL QAUTOCFG to display and post the result.

For each port, the address must be unique, so there cannot be two terminals with address 0 on that port.
To be the console, the terminal must be on port 0 with address 0.

Post back!

royaltech:

Multiple elements can affect whether or not a device can be a system console. If the assumption _must_ be "if all the cabiling is correct," (e.g., both address _and_ port are 0 or at least one of the ones configured as 'alternate console', and cabling is verified as not broken) then perhaps the system is configured to use a different console type -- Operations Console, HMC, thin console...?

Is there normal access to the system, i.e., telnet? iNav? What OS VRM? What hardware model?

It is in the upper right, I'm using two terminals for the same machine, at different times, so the only thing that changes is the terminal, and I did set it as 0 and 0

Thanks

Cursor upper right means no line sync from the as/400....double-check your connections

So is that the only thing that needs to be configured is the address?  The terminial has been bounced around a bit, and I could go get another one from the pile, I would buy an infowindow off ebay, but I rarely use the console, unless for machine maintenance.

 

by: _b_hPosted on 2008-04-03 at 17:05:35ID: 21278068

It may be the terminal is broken.
You could try another terminal in its place, or turn on autoconfig and test the terminal on another port.
