7. To select the IOP that will support your intended console, do one of the following:
v If the adapter to be used for the intended console is under the same IOP as the previous console's
adapter, the console IOP is already correctly tagged. Go to step 8.
v If the adapter to be used for intended console is under a different IOP than the currently
configured console, place a 1 in front of the IOP to select it as the console IOP.
8. Verify an adapter for use as an optional alternate console. To verify the tagging for an alternate
console, find the IOP with the twinaxial adapter that will be used for the alternate console. It is
properly tagged if you see a > (greater than) symbol on the same line. If the > is not on this line,
enter an option 2 in front of the IOP being selected as the alternate console.
| Note: The selection of an alternate console only pertains when twinaxial workstations are to be the
alternate console and the console type is also twinaxial console. The alternate console must be
|
under a different IOP than the IOP tagged for use by Operations Console. Operations Console
|
| cannot be used as an alternate console. Do not tag the same IOP for the console and the
alternate console.
