Sending a Serial Break

This topic is only relevant if VanDyke Software's SecureCRT® 5.0 (or newer) is also installed.

When using a serial connection, there are several ways to send a break-line condition.

If the VT220 keymap is selected, you can use the F5 key.

When using any of the keymappings supplied with SecureCRT, you can generate a break by using the CTRL plus PAUSE/BREAK key combination.

You can also use the Button Bar or Keymap Editor to arbitrarily map the Telnet function TN_BREAK to a button or to any key you like.
