To summarize what some others have said (and add a couple more) The Digi, old GMP boxes (don't think they are still around), cisco 26xx and 36xx series Async cards, Lantronix (SCS-16xx, SCS-32xx), Bay Networks (Annex), AlterPath ACS16, and others: all work as they should.

Yes, it does.  And what a major pain in the ass that is.

This "feature" has been discussed on this list before, but I don't recall

The only solution which I have found that gives satisfactory
results is the Nudata(TM) Non Aborting Serial Port Adaptor.  This
is a little black box that cost about $90. It has smarts onboard
and allows the BREAKs to be sent from a terminal or terminal
server port. But it monitors the DTR line, if it drops then the
box blocks all input, thus if a terminal server sends breaks at
power down they are blocked when DTR drops first. There is a
timing issue here but it seems to work, I suspect they have a
transmission delay built in to catch the fault before the BREAK is
sent but I don't know this for sure.

The beauty of it is that we can still use BREAK to halt the system
if we want. If the terminal server looses power all our Sun's
DON'T halt. It would also cover off any problems of the line being
cut and looking like a break as long as DTR is cut at the same
time.

The only down side is the price tag.

Yes, it does.  And what a major pain in the ass that is.

This "feature" has been discussed on this list before, but I don't recall
seeing a viable solution.

But, if the device is listed at http://www.conserver.com/consoles/breakinfo.html as passing the test, then it most likely will not result in a Sun at PROM. We have Cisco 3640s. You can power cycle them until the cows come home and the Sun's don't care. But, you can still send a break when you need to.

Hi,
 
I've just started using conserver (V7.2.6).  Most of our hosts are
Solaris boxes connected to a WTI console server (CMS-16 model).
The conserver.cf file resembles the following:

LOGDIR=/var/log/consoles
TIMESTAMP=1ha
 
holmium   :|telnet wti11.admin.sc.p4pnet.net 2103::&.log::1

radon     :|telnet wti10.admin.sc.p4pnet.net 2104::&.log::1
 
%%

allow:  172.16.0.0/12
allow:  192.168.0.0/16
allow:  p4pnet.net
 
I can successfully connect to a console, but when I send
a break using "CTRL-e c l 0", it's ignored (though I do
see a "halt sent" message).  I tried setting the break field
to "2", which some postings suggested was an alternate
break sequence for Solaris, but that doesn't work either.
 
Nothing been's done on the Solaris side to disable breaks .
Am I overlooking something obvious.  Thanks ...

I went through some problems to be able to SEND break signal to some Sun machines through conserver + piped telnet + a Cisco 2511 access server, but finally solved it. Thought I'd share my solution. In conserver.cf, put: BREAK3=^]send brk\n The ^] needs to be HEX 0A (in vi: control + alt gr + 9 on my Sun). Of course, one can always send control + alt gr + 9 on the keyboard directly and type send brk, but I prefer to have everything set up to be available through ^ec which is described by the help that is showed when running console. I also need to log some more stuff (like which users attaches/deattaches from consoles, the time they do this (when attaching/deattaching)), but I suppose I'll figure that out. If anyone has some patches/tips in regards to logging more than the default, let me know.

Hi,
 
I'm trying to get conserver (V7.2.6) working in our environment,
I have run into the following problem - as soon as I start conserver,
the consoles I'm using it to manage come down almost immediately:
 
[-- Console up -- Tue Mar 25 09:26:30 2003]
[-- Console down -- Tue Mar 25 09:26:30 2003]
 
I also noticed I'm unable to telnet into our console servers (e.g.,
wti10.admin.sc.p4pnet.net) while conserver is running.  I wouldn't
expect to be able to access individual ports on the console server while
conserver is controlling them, but it's not clear to me why the console
server itself should become inaccessible.
 
The conserver.cf file looks as follows:
 

   LOGDIR=/var/log/consoles
   TIMESTAMP=1ha
 
   holmium   : !wti11.admin.sc.p4pnet.net :2103:&.log::1
   nitrogen  : !wti11.admin.sc.p4pnet.net :2104:&.log::1

   titanium  : !wti10.admin.sc.p4pnet.net :2109:&.log::1
   beaufort  : !wti10.admin.sc.p4pnet.net :2111:&.log::1
   blarney   : !wti10.admin.sc.p4pnet.net :2112:&.log::1

   astatine  : !wti10.admin.sc.p4pnet.net :2116:&.log::1
 
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?  The console
servers are WTI CMS-16 units.  Thanks ...
 
Richard

Mt two cents for initial troubleshooting I guess :) If telnet works, we need to troubleshoot further.
