In this scenario you might be installing Licensed Internal Code as part of a system recovery action and the configured console was a local console on a network. However, the device did not become active and you have an A6005008 SRC code. The system is large and it takes a long time to get to this point and you do not want to start over.
The proper asynchronous communications adapter is available without further configuration changes so you could use the console service functions (65+21) to change the console mode. This automatically starts the communications adapter associated with the local console directly attached to the server. If you want to use the PC you were using for the network-attached console, you simply disconnect the network configuration and create (or use a previously created configuration) a local console directly attached to the server configuration. Once the console service functions (65+21) has successfully completed, you connect the directly attached configured connection. This device should become the console automatically and you will be at the step originally expected. If the network failure preceded the old console getting the language screen, the new console will present that screen. If the failure happened after you started an action the new console will either be running that action or the action may be complete, in which case you will see the results of that action.
