Product: Digi PortServer TS16
Action: configuring a port at 200 baud 8N1 and sending a break
Problem : the character send is not really a break; on receiver side, we receive:
My conclusion is that the break send is about 50 msec long which is on character time.
Temporary solution used : send several break !
What version of firmware is on your Portserver TS16? Also, from the commandline of the TS16, what are the outputs of “show line”, “show profile”, and “show port”?
Here are requested info:

Additional comment
The break is sent using telnet IAC command. This has been widely used without problem when baudrate is >= 300.
In this case we’ll also want to know the 50xxxxxx-xx part number from the underside of the TS, so we know which firmware it can use going forward.
Our lab equipement is :
PN:(1P)50000854-01 C
S/N S V41145421
We should also update field equipments which are newer; I will provide numbers tomorrow
Thank you for your help
Yes, this unit can and should be updated to the 82000684_U3.bin firmware.
Make sure you bring the POST up to the 82000685_G.bin level if it isn’t already, then reboot the TS, before attempting the EOS upgrade, or this device will be rendered unuseable.
