Hi,

you cannot change the burned-in address of the adapter,
but you can assign an alternate address to it. Because I
prefer smitty to do things:

Call "smitty chgtok" and select your adapter.
The settings are "Enable Alternate Token Ring address"
and "Alternate Token Ring address".
Read the F1 help for these fields before changing.
