Service Configuration

Display the current status of terminal message service send status

#Input the send command in system view. [Router] send

Enter message, end with CTRL/Z; abort with CTRL/C:

#Input the contents of the message that the terminal will send. hello world # (Enter <Ctrl+W> to terminate the message input ) end message? [confirm]

	Press Enter, Ctrl+W, y, or Y to confirm the sending. Press Ctrl+C or other characters
	to give up the sending.
Dumb Terminal	When the asynchronous serial port (such as synchronous/synchronous serial port,
Service	AUX port) of the router operates in flow mode, the command line interface (CLI)
	of the router can be used to carry out configuration of the router. This is achieved
	by directly connecting the RS-232 serial port with the asynchronous serial port of
	the router. This is called the dumb terminal operation mode.
	As shown in the diagram below, the user can connect with any asynchronous
	serial port and log in to the router by running the hyper terminal on PC to carry
	out the configuration management of the router.

	The typical method of terminal access is:
	■ The asynchronous port working under the flow mode is connected to the
	RS-232 serial port via dedicated line to enter the router command line interface
	thereby providing another mode of configuring routers besides the mode of
	console port and Telnet mode.
	■ Based on the dumb terminal, other applications can be built, for instance,
	logging on to other equipment by executing the Telnet command.

For the synchronous/asynchronous serial port, physical-mode async, async mode flow, and undo modem should be set first.

Perform the following configuration in the interface view.
