When you attmept to send the break, does PCM disconnect the system and
issue a message to the effect that the link has been lost to the
remote system?
If yes, then this is a known problem that has been fixed in ECO2
which will be available shortly.

| 1207.2 | Send break to console via Telnet | 54625::BANKEN | | Tue Mar 05 1996 09:37 | 15 |
| Hi Dan,
No, we don't loose the link, it just react as nothing has been send.
The node we want to 'halt' is a MVax 3100-90. For that machine, under PCM, ^P is defined to send a break.
I have really the impression that the break signal never gets through the Decserver, did you already succeed
to send a break via telnet ?
Many thanks and sorry for late answer,
Alain

Yes, I have gotten a BREAK to be sent over a TELNET connection but I
had to fix the code to get it to work. This was on an OpenVMS PCM
engine though and you never stated what you PCM platform is. In short,
if you have an OpenVMS PCM engine, trying to send a BREACK via TELNET
doesn't work even in ECO 1. It has been fixed in ECO 2 which was kitted
Monday and is currently being reviewed by SQM.

Dan

| Dan,
Indeed this is an OpenVMS platform, thus we will wait the ECO2.
Maybe just one remark, I didn't find that problem in the CONSOLEECO2016.RELEASE_NOTES;10 located in the
PCMSVR::$1$dkb500:[eco.eco2] directory (not the last document version ?), just a customer question anticipation...

Alain.

| Hi,
just to add an extra vote asking for the fix to the tcp/ip break transmit
problem. One of my customers was caught by this halfway through a VMS upgrade
he was doing from home. Ooops...
Thanks,
Ross
Ps. Can you also make sure that a matching OLB gets into the ECO kit ? Ta.

Already done.
>no mention in the release notes.
Thats my fault as I found the problem a long time ago and fixed it but
it never got IPMT'd.

| 1207.7 | Problem solved | 54625::BANKEN | | Thu Mar 07 1996 10:51 | 16 |
| Hi,
Problem has been solved by the following Decserver command :
LOCAL> Change port n telnet server brk break
You may check it by the 'Show port n telnet server' command.
Dan, the fixe you spoke about is probably already included in PCM 1.6-127.
I didn't find this setting in the PCM manuals, if it is really missing, it should be added ...
Regards,
Alain.

Good work! That'll do it! I had one site that had somehow managed to
set the server BRK characteristic to uppercase A... so he saw
an A echoed... talk about baffling.....

| 1207.9 | Does this work on DS300 ? | 42708::WATSONR | Lambs... so cute... but so tasty ! | Mon Mar 11 1996 09:17 | 8 |
| � LOCAL> Change port n telnet server brk break
Hi,
does this work on a DECserver 300 ? If not (I can't see how you get 'break'
in there), is there an equivilent ?

| It should. By default the setting is BREAK thus you don't need to
worry about it unless someona has changed it.

Dan,
on my DS300 servers, the default (according to TSM) would be...
DEFINE PORT ALL TELNET SERVER BRK None
I tried "define port n telnet server brk ^p", which it seems to have
liked, but the user actually needs a break (typical!). If "none" is really
a break, I would assume that I'm back to square one, as that doesn't appear
to work.
With the imminent arrival of ECO2, I guess that this isn't a big problem,
but I'm interested now.
Thanks,
Ross

Thats interesting. I use a DS90TL (full DECServer command set unlike
those "other" DS90's) and the ports are all set "Break" for the
TELNET SERVER BREAK characteristic. I even "red-buttoned" this thing
when I got it and set it up from scratch and I've not changed any of
the ports. Must be a difference within the actual DS load image between
the different servers. BTW, what version of the DS300 software are you
running? I believe the Network Access SOftware is available for the
300's on either OpenVMS CONDIST. Ya might want to see if your down-rev.
My hat's off to you for your idea of setting the SERVER BRK to CTRL-P!
Clever!! This would allow you to set a common break key for all systems
and then set the port to send the proper character. This will be a moot
point in the next release as the terminology will change. Users will
define a HALT key (I really *HATE* the current "Break key" terminology)
and they will specify what the halt key is and what character it sends
on a per-node basis.

Well... I'm using 'V2.2a BL45-4', which appears to be the same as the
version on the Dec'95 CD (well... same revision date anyway).
I guess I'll just wait for the eco, but it would've been nice. Thanks for
your comments.

| 1207.14 | Sending a Telnet Break over a Decserver 300 seems to be difficult... | 54625::BANKEN | | Wed Mar 13 1996 07:28 | 42 |
| Hi Ross,
This following info comes from the Polycenter Console Manager's SPD.
Please read carefully the note below the table.
Best regards,
Alain.
Terminal Server Requirements
The following terminal servers are supported for providing LAT and TELNET
PCM connections:
___________________________________________________________________
Terminal_Server__LAT________TELNET_________________________________
DECserver 200 X
DECserver 300 X X
DECserver 90L X
DECserver 90L+ X
DECserver 90TL X X
DECserver 90M X X
DECserver 500 X
DECserver 550 X
DECserver 700 X X
DECserver 900TM X X
LATprint_________X_________________________________________________
Note: TELNET Break functionality is only supported on the DECserver[TM]
90TL, DECserver 90M, DECserver 900 and the DECserver 700 with the Net-
work Access Software. If using TELNET the terminal server must sup-
port the Internet Working Group RFC 859 STATUS option in order to sup-
port Line Lost Notification.

| 1207.15 | Ah... ECO wont help ? | 42708::WATSONR | Lambs... so cute... but so tasty ! | Thu Mar 14 1996 11:15 | 9 |
| Re. {last few}
Hmmm... does this mean that, even armed with the much heralded ECO II,
my little DS300 will not forward a break that it receives via a TCP/IP
connection ? If this is indeed the case, then I'm still stuck.

Can I just clarify this ? If so, I'll start sorting out a DS900.
