Note that if Auto Configuration is enabled on the AS/400 the protocol
converter might change the device description back to 5219 the next time it
is powered ON. Disable auto configuration to prevent this problem:

CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE(‘0')

In order to change a device description it is necessary to delete the device description for
the Twinax attached printer emulating 5219, and create a new description for a 3812
model 1. In the following we assume the name of the device to be PRTXXX.

1.

First you must determine the controller number, the port number and the
device address of the existing 5219 device. The following CL command will
display the existing device description:

DSPDEVD PRTXXX

                           Display Device Description                   INTER01   

                                                               16.01.01 09.27.57

 Press Enter to continue 

 

 F3=Exit    F11=Display keywords   F12=Cancel  

 

Make a note of the Port Number (2), the Switch setting (3) and the
Attached controller (CTL01).

2.

In order to make changes or delete the device description you must end
the printer writer PRTXXX. The following command will end the writer
immediately:

ENDWTR WTR(PRTXXX) OPTION(*IMMED)

3.

Now you must vary off the device by the following command:

VRYCFG CFGOBJ(PRTXXX) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*OFF)

4.

You are now able to delete the 5219 device description by this command:

DLTDEVD DEVD(PRTXXX)

5.

Continue from step 5 in the previous section, but use the controller
number, port and address settings from the old device description:
