Stop-A on an MRV Terminal Server

Greetings,

I have been handed an MRV LX-series 16 port terminal server to use as a console server. However, I cannot figure out how to send a Stop-A break to the terminal server. I've read through the command reference and all the guides out for this device but to no avail.

We're trying to move our servers away from the Raritan Paragon system that the Windows guys use to connect to their servers to something a little more reliable, but the MRV has me confused.

Normal operations is fine through to the serial port, but I need to break out of a hung server state on one of the machines. Would it make more sense to connect to the ALOM instead of the serial input?

Thanks.

I don't know that specific server.How are you connecting to it? Telnet sessions usually have a standard method of sending a 'BREAK'. SSH clients are less standard, but some of them support it as well.

An alternative is to change it so that a BREAK is not required for the abort. One method is to use LOM with the '#.' combo. Another alternative is to change to the alternate break sequence (see the 'kbd' man page). That is also pure ascii, so typing it via the terminal server is no problem.

Hi Darren,Thanks for the reply (and my apologies for the late thanks - I was on vacation).That worked, but I also had to do eeprom input-device=ttya and output-device=ttya, as it was jumping between serial and screen.
