Xyplex iTouch Terminal Servers
Port Setup To Transmit "Break" Sequence
Many customers use the iTouch Communications access server to gain remote access (via Telnet or LAT) to their Sun host's console port. This console port is serially attached to one of the access sever's serial ports. At times they may want to access the host's ROM-based menu. This is accessed by sending a break sequence. In order for the access server to transmit a break signal to the host's console port the access server serial port must have the following settings defined.
Settings
iTouch_Priv> DEFINE PORT # BREAK REMOTE iTouch_Priv> DEFINE PORT # DEFAULT SESSION MODE xxxxxxx
where xxxxxxx = PASTHRU or PASSALL
This will cause the access server serial port to transmit a ~250ms break condition upon receipt of either a TELNET_BREAK (FF F3) or a LAT datab message.
