Terminal Problem

[konchamp]

I have 2 TTY ports 1 goes to my PC and 1 goes to a terminal. Out of the blue my terminal stopped working. Everytime I type something I keep getting a 6 whatever key I hit I get a 666666.....both TTY ports are still enabled. Any ideas?

Thanks

Try power cycling the terminal.

Power cycling didn't help, I even switch cable between PC and terminal and still doesn't work so I know the terminal is good.

Then you might want to verify the communication settings are the same on the TTY port and the terminal, they might have gotten changed by accideent.

how do I do that? Sorry, still newbie

Make sure 6 is not stuck down.

I've moved the cables to a PC and it does the same thing, so I know the keyboard is good...

1.Make sure your using port0 so u can read of it's baudrate from the ssc.
2. Configure your terminal for 8-N-1 with no flow control.
3. If your using a modem eliminator, try a different one.

Good luck

You may have to go to another port to verify your current port isn't disabled.

I disabled and renabled the port, same thing, changed the baud rates still the same....every key i hit I get a 6 must be the sign of the devil....i'm running out of ideas..

looking at your other post with the cdr issue is it possible you have the 2 ports rolled

 

[konchamp]

The terminal problem happened about 3 months before this CDR thing....I just now had the time to try and resolve both....

if your getting all 6's and the term has been changed then i would suspect the io port.. if this is an opt 11 it could be the cable, but they seldom go bad unless they show damage. those ports are on your ssc card.. might try the tty ports in the second cab if you have them built.. what kind of switch do you have?

Well, Halloween is coming up...

Seriously though check the emulation of the terminal. Make sure that it's set for the terminal you are at or try a standard like VT100.
