FLASH2 WON'T INITIALIZE AFTER RESETTING 1

[SYQUEST]

I have a CICS upgraded to 7.1 and a STARTALK FLASH2 NT5B07AB2455 with Feature Card NT5B78EC rel 02 VM 2.0, that is being reinstalled for a client. When I first powered up the systems everything appeared to work. I first upgraded the CICS from 4.1 ver 30NFG00 NAT to 7.1 ver 30HDC12 NAT. So far the CICS works fine. I tried the Flash2 and it was working, also on the CICS with 7.1. So, I am ready to configure the Flash2. I reset it to default per documentation, all the proper prompts are displayed, so I figured it was ready for initializing, but the day was over, and I would do the new configuration on Tuesday. So I get there today, and do F983 and is says "feature inactive". Every F98x code I tried gave me "feature inactive". Now, when I call the DN 35 of the connected port, the Flash2 answers with a log prompt, but since there is no config or init, it won't go anywhere! Is there something about the Flash2 that is not compatible with the CICS 7.1? Is there a different sequence I need to try to get the CICS to recognize the Flash2 or is the unit dead? I am planning to bring a dumb terminal with me on Wednesday to see what comes from the serial port.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Just so I am clear in my mind where we are starting from, did you do the f903 as below:

Probably F903...just say OK to the codes.

Also you should always make sure its not Flash Lite when doing a reinstall in case it was key coded to open up AA etc.

Thanks for the thread! That one did not show up when I was searching the forum. I shall try that when I get to the job site.

That thread reference worked perfectly, and the default F98x codes work fine now, since the Flash is initialized. Thanks for your help...
