Why can't I send a break from my terminal server port?
Why can't I send a break from my terminal server port? Why can't I send a break from my terminal server port?

When using our terminal server products in a consoling application, it is common for a user to want to be able to send a "break" from the port, whether done from telnet, ssh, or by some other means.

By default, our terminal servers have this ability to send a "break" out the port turned off, i.e. we ignore the "break" rather than send it through.

The applicable setting on the terminal server can be found in the "set line" configuration. Here is how "set line" looks by default:

tty  baud  csize parity stopb  break      error inpck istrip onlcr otab

  1   9600    8     N     1   ignore     ignore   off   off   off   off

As you can see, break is set for ignore. In order to be able to send a break out a port, use the following syntax (substitute # for actual port number):

    set line range=# break=send
You should now be able to send a "break" out the port.
