To create a service tools device ID follow these steps:
1. Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST).
2. Select Work with DST environment → Service tools device IDs.
Note: By default, the Service tools device IDs option is not available from SST. If you receive the
message The user can not perform the option selected it indicates that the option has not been
made available. The unlock method can only be performed in DST.
To unlock this option for use in SST, do the following:
a. Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST).
b. Select Start a service tool → Display/Alter/Dump → Display/Alter storage → Licensed Internal
Code (LIC) data → Advanced analysis. (You need to page down to see this option.)
c. Page down until you find the FLIGHTLOG option. Then, place a 1 next to the option and press
Enter. You should be on the Specify Advanced Analysis Options window. The command should
show as FLIGHTLOG.
d. Enter the option SEC UNLOCKDEVID.
Note: If you want to secure this option later use the option SEC LOCKDEVID.
3. Enter a 1 next to the Device ID field. Then enter a name to call the VCP's device ID and press Enter.
4. Optionally, enter a description. Then press Enter.
5. You have now created a device ID for the VCP connection from one PC.
6. You can check the attributes for the device ID by selecting option 7 (Change attributes). By default,
the console and partition remote panel for partition 0 (current partition) will be granted.
7. Use PF3 to go back to the DST main menu.
Checking user ID for permissions:
If you are using a service tools user ID other than QSECOFR, QSRV, 22222222, or 11111111 for use with
the VCP, you have to set the service tools user privileges for Partition remote panel key to allow access
to the mode function. To verify or set this service tools user privilege, do the following:
1. Go to the DST main menu.
2. Select Work with DST environment → Service tools user IDs.
3. Move the cursor to the user you want to verify or set the privileges for and place a 7 on the same line
and press Enter.
4. You only have to verify or set the privilege for the Partition remote panel key entry, which would be
the partition currently being used. Place a 2 on the line for the partition, and press Enter to grant
permission to the mode functions.
Note: Systems with a keystick require the keystick to be inserted before the user is eligible to use the
mode button. For example, the user has the remote panel key privilege but will not have the
mode function available until the keystick is present. For systems without the keystick, only the
user ID remote panel key privilege is necessary.
5. You can now exit back to the DST main menu. Additionally, you can exit DST or IPL depending on
how you entered DST.
Changing the current configuration to console only:
If your current Operations Console configured connection includes the remote control panel, use the
following steps to configure the connection for just the console. If the console is currently the only
function being provided, skip this section and continue with next section.
1. To remove the remote control panel from the configuration, the connection status must be
Disconnected. To disconnect the configuration, follow these steps:
