How to Simulate a Break Key Sequence
Break key sequence simulation is useful if your terminal emulator does not support the break key, or if a bug does not allow your terminal emulator to send the correct signal.
Note: The hyperterminal under Windows NT had this behavior in the past.
Complete these steps to simulate a break key sequence:
- Connect to the router with these terminal settings:1200 baud rateNo parity8 data bits1 stop bitNo flow controlYou no longer see any output on your screen, and this is normal.
- Power cycle (switch off and then on) the router and press the SPACEBAR for 10-15 seconds in order to generate a signal similar to the break sequence.
- Disconnect your terminal, and reconnect with a 9600 baud rate. You enter the ROM Monitor mode.
If all these methods fail to properly send a break, retry the procedures from a different terminal or PC platform
