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.

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.
