rommon mode won't respond to keystrokes

Feb 05, 2006 4 Replies

I get the error message below and I am trying to give the command 'confreg' and the router won't respond to any keystrokes. I have tried to send the ctrl-break during boot and nothing.



Is there another method?



Thanks



BW

Thanks Brad but I have been through these.

All of these methods that the router responds to keystrokes which this one doesn't...

Thanks Brad but I have been through these docs.

As I eluded to in my original post, these presume that the router responds to commmands entered, which this one doesn't...any other thoughts?

I've experienced similar difficulties using Windows Hyperterm. If that's what your using, try a different term. emulator. HTH, David
