Hey everyone,

     I've been having a problem with a 4000M.  I was working on recovering
a password and when I rebooted I just got screen garbage (diamonds,
squares, squigglies, etc.).  Now, while some people may find this more
aesthetically pleasing than the Cisco IOS, it's not exactly what I'm
looking for.  I have a feeling that somehow I inadvertently changed the
baud rate during my attempted password recovery.  Unfortunately, this lab
router was just write erased, so I can't connect to any network interfaces.
So, I pose these three questions:

     1) Is there any mildly easy way to reset a 4000M back to factory state
(9600 8N1 or 8N2 - depending on documentation)

     2) Am I going to have to sit and try all the possible
terminalspeed/databits/parity/stopbits combos until I stumble upon it?

     3) Does anyone have another suggestion?

     Thanks,

     Matthew Sypherd

Subject:  Re: Connecting to Console port (How to issue a BREAK with mint
      hyperterminal)


Oh dear, not the hyperterminal thread again, this was my first thought as i
have
read the original question. I agree, there are many execellent terminal
emulators
out there. But just imagine that you go to a customer and have to use one
of their
computers to rescue a router.  Wanna ask the customer to download xxx-term
that
you can work with ? Chances are very good that hyperterminal is on the
customers
computer, so we should know how to use it ...

To issue a break signal with genuine Hyperterminal you can use this method:

Connect as usual to the router and set a very low baudrate in hyperterm. I
use
110 as example. Now just press a few different keys repeatedly. Thies
issued the
break signal. Now switch back to 9600 bits per second and continue the
usual
procedure.
