RE: Twinax Device Addresses

That is the name of the Hardware Resource.  Do a WRKCTLD CTL* and I bet you
will see the two Controller descriptions that point to the hardware
resource.  You want to use the controller descriptions to get the device
addresses.

When I GO HARDWARE and run " 2. Work with local workstation resources," I
see two controllers: CTL03 and CTL05.  But there's only one "loon" (brick)
coming out of the back of the 520.  There are five [5] of these old twinax
dot matrix printers; they are all used (to varying degrees) and all of them
show up when I run WRKCFGSTS *DEV.  

When I run PRTDEVADR against CTL03, I get a message that " Controller CTL03
not found"  (CPF2602).  My set-up is identical to that described by Loyd.  

I know that there are two printers configured for Port 1 because I looked at
their configuration.  This whole question started, in fact, because I had to
swap these printers out yesterday, and  I was looking for an unused address
on the port that I could use temporarily for one of them so I could change
the configuration without having to muck around with those DIP switches.

Thanks.

Do you have multiple Twinax controllers?

We still have a few twinax line printers here.  They are connected to the
System i via an Ethernet patch panel; the twinax control is connected to the
panel with a balun and Ethernet cable.

Pretty rudimentary stuff, I think.  My question is: Why, when I run the
PRTDEVADR command these printers do not show up?  In fact, the only thing
that shows up in the list is the old system console at port 0 address 0.
