RE: Changing from PC Console to good old terminal console

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1) Try going into Dedicated Service Tools.
2) Work with DST Environment
3) System Devices
4) Console Mode
5) Select 'Local Console'

You will need DST security officer profile/password for this operation.

As a side note, I found to my great relief that if you disconnect your
PC console and IPL in manual mode, the system will assign a twinax
device Port 0 Address 0 as console, even though the system is configured
for the PC Console.  I don't know if this is consistent across all
models, but it saved me many days of downtime when I was unable to get
the PC software to work and needed to get an AS/400 into production.
