break sequence on laptop
It 'appears' I got the laptop serial connected to the v240 via the serial mgt port.
However, nothing will work to send a break sequence to the Sol9 box. As I indicated in a previous message above, the screen on laotp shows the system going through the probing and keep at this vicious cycle
I have used many different key sequence to get the systme to break this sequence. I am sur enot all of these will/can apply to the laptop, bt hey gott atry everything until something works. Here is what I tried:
~.
~#
return ~ ctrl +b
ctrl +c
stop +a
<enter>#
~~#
~:~~#
<enter>~~#
Anyone got any thing slese for me to try??? I've googled and found all of these, but there is so much to look at and it is hard to find something that is specific to my situation. My guess is someone has had this problem before since its fairly common to attach a Windows Laptop top to the serial mgt port.
Another thought, would a Solaris OS laptop help??
If you know anything else to try, let me know.
TIA

dc
dc(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual dc(7) NAME
dc - serial line/mouse/keyboard SYNOPSIS
controller dc0 at ibus0 slot 0 vector dcintr DESCRIPTION
The dc serial line controller provides DECstation 2100, DECstation 3100, DECstation 5000, and DECstation 5100 computer systems with key- board, mouse, and serial communications interfaces. The serial communications interfaces on the DECstation 2100 and DECstation 3100 provide partial modem control. The serial communications interfaces on the DECstation 5000 provide full modem control. The device special file /dev/tty01 on a DECstation 5100 provides full modem control, while the remaining ports provide no modem control at all. All serial commu- nications interfaces operate at baud rates from B50 to B9600, excluding B200. The dc ports are used as follows: Usage Graphics device keyboard at 4800 BPS Mouse or tablet at 4800 BPS Communications port 1 (w/modem control)/local terminal Communications port 2 (w/modem control)/local terminal On all systems except the DECstation 5100, serial port 2 is used for the system console port in server (that is, non-graphics) configura- tions. On DECstation 5100s, the serial port labeled 3 on the back of the system is always the system console port. The serial system con- sole port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity; modem control is not supported. RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the console serial port in server configurations must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity. The scc driver enforces this restriction. FILES
