I have looked over the CE's shoulder when he was displaying the disk channel adapters in the service screens on our 2105-800 boxes. The CE can see in his display the speed (1 gb or 2 gb) of each FICON interface. We also have FC interfaces which are PPRC box to box links, and each of those interfaces can be displayed to see what speed they're running at. I wouldn't know how to navigate to these screens myself (they might well require the service password), but I know enough to know what to ask the CE to show me. Bottom line: Ask your CE to show you the speed of each channel interface on your 2105.
