dear alpha managers,
We have a digital workstation that I am trying to upgrade
remotely. I have it set up like this:
digital server serial port
(serial nullmodem cable)
terminal server
(telnet)
my workstation
actually, the term server is just a cisco router near by with an
unused aux port, so I am using it. I configured the router to
tunnel me to aux port (and to digital server's console) when I
login to: 'telnet router 6001'
The communication is just fine. The server is in multi-user mode
and I get the console "login:" prompt and I can talk back.
Now I am trying to send it a "break" to get it to SRM prompt.
I interrupt the telnet session (^]) and do a "send brk" at telnet>
prompt. But it doesnt drop to SRM and instead chugs along happily.
question:
Is my assumption correct that sending a break on serial console
puts the machine into SRM? If not, what is the correct way
to do this?
Thank you.
