Re: Migrate twinax console to LAN console V5R2

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The procedure in the V5R4 Info center is essentially the same as it was 
in V5R2, difference being some of the options for setting up the console 
device and the user.  You may have to hunt/peck for those.  Also, I 
don't remember exactly but there was a change where you could get to 
those functions with SST, at V5R2 they may only be available from DST.  
I would try a function 21 to see if the DST presented that way will give 
you the options, otherwise you may have to IPL into DST to set it up.
