Best Practices System Administration

Our speaker at the March 2011 CreativeMornings/San Francisco was Mike Monteiro, Design Director, and co-founder of Mule Design Studio (muledesign.com).

The event was generously hosted by Typekit (typekit.com) at their office in the Mission in San Francisco, CA, USA.

The San Francisco chapter of CreativeMornings is run by Erika Hall (@mulegirl) and her dedicated team of volunteers.

Break key sequence simulation is useful if your terminal emulator does not support the break key, or if a bug does not allow your terminal emulator to send the correct signal.

Complete these steps to simulate a break key sequence:

1. Connect to the router with these terminal settings:
   • 1200 baud rate
   • No parity
   • 8 data bits
   • 1 stop bit
   • No flow control
   • You no longer see any output on your screen, and this is normal.
2. Power cycle (switch off and then on) the router and press the SPACEBAR for 10-15 seconds in order to generate a signal similar to the break sequence.
3. Disconnect your terminal, and reconnect with a 9600 baud rate. You enter the ROM Monitor mode.

Remember: The Electronic Industries Association leavingcisco.com RS-232 logic level uses +3 to +25 volts to signify a Space (Logic 0) and -3 to -25 volts for a Mark (logic 1). A break signal is when the data line remains in the space condition for a specified duration, usually 100 ms to ½ second. All characters begin with a start bit and end with a stop bit (and also a parity bit or two). The level condition of the start and stop bits is always opposite. So, no character combination can look like the break signal.
Remember: In some cases, the break sequence might not get transmitted properly when using a USB/Serial converter cable. In such cases, use a keyboard with a different connector port (for example, a PS/2).

Here are a few reasons why it is not a good idea to use Google Docs / Online providers for Spreadsheet applications.

I use YouMail for my voice mail provider.

They give you a certain phone number to which calls need to be forwarded for this to work:

These are the codes to enable forwarding for each specific condition:

Call Forward if Busy:

*67* PHONENUMBER #

Call Forward if Not Answered:

*61* PHONENUMBER #

Call Forward if Unreachable:

*62* PHONENUMBER #

To Disable:
